Metabolism of Imidacloprid in Workers of Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
The chloro-nicotinyl insecticide imidacloprid is used extensively as a soil treatment against subterranean termites. We conducted the Þrst study of the metabolic fate of imidacloprid in termites, by exposing workers of the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) to radiolabeled imidacloprid through topical application and ingestion. Several day...
متن کاملShort-Term Effects of a Revegetation Program on the Orthopteran Diversity in Oak Forests of the Southern Iberian Peninsula
Orthopterans are insects closely linked to vegetation as primary consumers as well as for other biological processes such as oviposition and development. This research aims to assess the effect of a revegetation program that began in 2007 in the compensation area linked to the construction of the Breña II dam on Orthopteran diversity within several different human-created and natural habitats (...
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 کاملAbundance, Distribution, and Colony Size Estimates for Reticulitermes spp. (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Southern Mississippi1
Enviton. Entomol. 11: 1290-1293 (1982) A census of 24 1-ha plots indicated .an average abundance per ha of 4.42 colonies of Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) and 2.38 colonies of R. virginicus (Banks). Nearest neighbor analysis indicated the mean distance between colonies of R. f2avipes to be 22.48 m, between colonies of R. virginicus to be 26.19 m, and between colonies, irrespective of species,...
متن کاملSex Ratios in Field Populations of Reticulitermes spp. (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) on Sapelo Island, Georgia, USA
Social insects provide some of the most striking examples of sexual division. Thirty termite inspection ports were sampled four times in 11 months (September 2008 – July 2009). A total of 90 collections of a not-yet described Reticulitermes spp. were examined to estimate sex ratios. The range of sex ratios (male to female) observed, by caste, were: 0.49-3.50 for workers, 0.75-5.25 for soldiers ...
