Semiochemicals of Termite Origin
2005The behavior of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is directed by a no. of chems. produced by members of various castes in the colony. We have investigated the semiochems. produced by termites that are assocd. with behaviors such as species recognition (cuticular hydrocarbons), trail following (3,6,8-dodecatrien-1-ol), and ...

The Topological Fortress of Termites
2008Termites are known for building some of the most elaborate architectures observed in the animal world. We here analyse some topological properties of three dimensional networks of galleries built by termites of the genus Cubitermes . These networks are extremely sparse, in spite of the fact that there is no building cost associated with higher ...

Intracellular Symbiosis in Termites
2000Intracellular symbioses are widespread in insects. Symbiotic microorganisms can reside in either specialised or normal host cells. While those in specialised cells (mycetocytes) have been referred to as mycetocyte endosymbionts, those in normal cells have sometimes been indicated as guest microorganisms. The former are usually regarded as beneficial to
