Preferences of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) among Three Commercial Wood Species
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and the Asian subterranean termite, Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann), are both pests of wood in service in Hawaii and Florida. We conducted a laboratory study using method modified from those described in standard E1-09 of the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA 2009) to assess the termite resistance of three commercially av...
متن کاملInterspecific Agonism and Foraging Competition Between Coptotermes formosanus and Coptotermes gestroi (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae)
We investigated interactions between Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (formerly known as C. vastator) and Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki in forced encounters and in foraging competition. In agonistic assays, termites from each species, with a fixed worker-to-soldier ratio of 9:1, were placed in filter paper-lined petri dishes and allowed to interact over a 24-hour period. Coptotermes gestroi suffe...
متن کاملInsecticide susceptibility in Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes virginicus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
Lethal time to mortality responses were established for eight insecticides against workers and soldiers of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, and workers of Reticulitermes virginicus (Banks). There were significant differences in the tolerance ratios between workers of C. formosanus colonies to all toxicants tested except fipronil. One colony was 16 times more to...
متن کاملThe Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Coptotermes ‘suzhouensis’ (syn. Coptotermes formosanus) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and Molecular Phylogeny Analysis
Coptotermes suzhouensis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a significant subterranean termite pest of wooden structures and is widely distributed in southeastern China. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of C. suzhouensis was analyzed in this study. The mitogenome was a circular molecule of 15,764 bp in length, which contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosom...
متن کاملMolting in workers of the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus.
The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, with its huge colonies, is a major urban pest in several southern states and Hawaii as well as in South Asia. Because of their cryptic nature (underground habitat) and very long life cycle, not much is known about molting in termite workers. In C. formosanus, the workers stop foraging and lose their gut fauna, respectively, approximatel...
