Lower termites need symbiotic microbes for cellulose digestion. Elizabethkingia miricola strain BM10 has been proposed as a microbe that assists in low-temperature digestion and metabolism of Reticulitermes speratus KMT1, termite on Bukhan Mountain, Seoul, Korea. In E. BM10, β-glucosidase genes expressed at 10°C were identified, the psychrophilic enzymatic characteristic was confirmed by hetero...

Over the past few decades, species distribution modelling has been increasingly used to monitor invasive species. Studies herein propose use Cellular Automata (CA), not only model of a potentially but also infer potential method in risk prediction Reticulitermes grassei infestation. The test area was mainland Portugal, for which an available presence-only dataset used. This is typical type, res...

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,...

Worldwide, termites are one of few social insects. In this research, the stages embryonic development in parthenogenetic and sexual eggs Reticulitermes aculabialis R. flaviceps were observed described. flaviceps, egg FF FM groups happened during early phases development, whereas aculabialis, appeared mainly late phase development. The variance number micropyles between colony type was statistic...
