چکیده
no-choice feeding tests. Pressed paneling mats made from Alaska-cedar or western hemlock exhibited antifeedant properties. Waxes, resins, and additives used in manufacturing these mats imparted resistance to R. fEauipes.

Toxicity ofFipronil in Mississippi Soil Types Against Reticulitermes jlavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)
63 Three soils (a silt loam, loamy sand, sandy loam) found in Mississippi and pure silica sand were treated with fipronil and bioassayed using eastern subterranean termites, Reticulitermes jlavipes. Soils were treated with aqueous solutions ofTermidor (fipronil) at concentrations of 0, 0.12, 0.25,2.5, 5.0 and 20.0 ppm (wt AI: wt soil) that brought the soils to 15% moisture. Estimated lethal con...

Reticulitermes nelsonae, a new species of Rhinotermitidae (Isoptera) is described based on specimens from Sapelo Island, GA, Thomasville, GA, Havelock, NC, and Branford, FL. Adult (alate) and soldier forms are described. Diagnostic characters are provided and incorporated into a supplemental couplet of a dichotomous key to the known species of Reticulitermes found in Georgia, USA.
متن کاملPHYSIOLOGICAL ECOLOGY Nitrogen-Sparged l\iedia Extends Life Span of Symbiotic Protists Found in Subterranean Termites (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), Providing More Time for Microscopic Examination
Protist communities found in the hindgut of subterranean termites (Rhinotermitidae) historically have been quantified and identified using a variety of methods, thus making comparisons between studies difficult We examined four saline solutions and compared protist estimates by using two different cell-counting platforms. Estimates of protist populations were greater using a hemo cytometer cou...
