Evaluating the Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System in Australia
The Exterra Termite Interception and Baiting System (Ensystex Inc., Fayetteville, NC) was evaluated in a field experiment near Townsville, Australia. Cellulose-acetate powder containing either 0.05% weight/weight (w/w) or 0.25% w/w chlorfluazuron (Requiem) was tested for its efficacy in eradicating colonies of the mound-building subterranean termite Coptotermes acinaciformis (Froggatt). Thirt...
متن کاملTop‐down network analysis characterizes hidden termite–termite interactions
The analysis of ecological networks is generally bottom-up, where networks are established by observing interactions between individuals. Emergent network properties have been indicated to reflect the dominant mode of interactions in communities that might be mutualistic (e.g., pollination) or antagonistic (e.g., host-parasitoid communities). Many ecological communities, however, comprise speci...
متن کاملWound treatment and selective help in a termite-hunting ant.
Open wounds are a major health risk in animals, with species prone to injuries likely developing means to reduce these risks. We therefore analysed the behavioural response towards open wounds on the social and individual level in the termite group-hunting ant Megaponera analis During termite raids, some ants get injured by termite soldiers (biting off extremities), after the fight injured ants...
متن کاملSubterranean termite invaSion originS
Subterranean termites in the genus Coptotermes Holmgren are structural pests that have become globally distributed beyond their native range in Southeast Asia. Because of their destructive nature, it is useful to understand the pathways of their spread. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis of evolutionary relationships may lead to increased accuracy of insecticide-based management on the basis t...
متن کاملTermite Trends Worldwide
I appreciate the opportunity to address the membership of the Canadian Wood Preservation Association at the 27 annual meeting, and discuss current trends in (1) termite biology, (2) termite research, and (3) termite control. This is, in some respects, an update to a paper I delivered at the seventh annual meeting of the CWPA on “The Challenge of Wood Destroying Insects” (Grace 1987). During the...
