ECOLOGY AND POPULATION BIOLOGY Reticulitermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Arizona: Multiple Cuticular Hydrocarbon Phenotypes Indicate Additional Taxa
Current taxonomic and biogeographical information on Reticulitermes in the United States suggests the only species found in Arizona isReticulitermes tibialis Banks.Reticulitermes occurs naturally throughout Arizona with the exception of much of the Sonoran and Colorado deserts. Collections of Reticulitermes from disparate locations in Arizona and neighboring states were made to characterize the...
متن کاملECOLOGY AND POPULATION BIOLOGY Flight Phenology of Sympatric Populations of Reticulitermes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in Northern California: Disparate Flight Intervals Indicate Reproductive Isolation Among Cuticular Hydrocarbon Phenotypes
The diurnal ßights of Reticulitermes spp. have been reported to occur in the spring and early fall in northern California. From the spring of 1994 until the fall of 2001, we collected hundreds of alates of Reticulitermes spp. cuticular hydrocarbon phenotypes CA-A/A and CA-D during ßights from multiple locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. As predicted, there were two ßight seasons: one in th...
متن کاملCuticular permeability of two species of Coptotermes Wasmann (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
Cuticular permeability (CP) values of worker and soldier castes of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes vastator Light were determined using gravimetric techniques. Comparisons were made between castes, species, and between colonies of C. formosanus and C. vastator. CP values did not differ among either species or colony, however they did differ between castes. Data reported here and ...
متن کاملColony breeding system influences cuticular bacterial load of Formosan subterranean termite (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) workers.
The goal of this study was to test whether the breeding system and/or the degree of inbreeding of field colonies of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) influences bacterial load on the cuticle of foraging workers. We enumerated bacterial load on the cuticle of groups of workers foraging in 20 inground monitoring stations surrounding the...
متن کاملCuticular hydrocarbons of Heterotermes tenuis (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae): analyses and electrophysiological studies.
Termites have become an important pest of Eucalyptus and Pinus reforestations, sugarcane and other cultures. An alternative for the control of this pest would be the use of attractive traps that take in account the social behavior of these insects. Diverse factors are important for the insects in the localization of the habitat and the choice of the food and specific odors can facilitate this. ...
