Book excerpt: Termite sociality is commonly assumed to be similar to ants when in fact, termites inhabit a wide array of niche. Variation in the life history of termites is most evident in nest types, and termites display adaptive behaviors most appropriate to the ecological challenges associated with their nesting habit. Termite nest types are categorized into one-piece, the drywood and dampwood termites colonizing a single wooden piece, intermediates, the subterranean termites colonizing multiple resources via underground tunnels, and separate, the higher termites that include the builders of elaborate mounds. Foraging behaviors of termites, which occurs in the phases of discovery, quality assessment, and recruitment, and are impacted by different nest habits of termites. Various mechanisms of resource quality assessment have been observed in one-piece termites, as a colony consumes a single resource colonized by the founding reproductive. In contrast, due to the need to relocate resources to a centralized nest, separate nest types have developed efficient recruitment mechanisms. Intermediate nest type termites construct tunnels to forage and must efficiently discover resources, as well as have mechanisms to distribute nestmates among feeding sites. Numerous cues associated with the foraging behaviors of subterranean termites have been identified, yet how these mechanisms are integrated into a system of effective foraging strategy has not been considered. In particular, several cues suggested to mediate search patterns are likely involved in later stages of settlement at resources instead. Therefore, further investigations are necessary to determine what cues subterranean termites use to initially discover food resources. The first objective was to investigate termite response to distant odors from wood and nestmates and determine whether this behavioral response was due to attraction or arrestment. The response of Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) workers to wood and nestmates was measured using choice olfactometers that either allowed or prohibited departure from the treatments. Significant response to both wood and nestmates in the no-exit olfactometer indicated a direct orientation to cues and therefore attraction. In addition, the response to wood alone indicated mediation by volatile odors.
Book Synopsis Biology of Termites: a Modern Synthesis by : David Edward Bignell
Download or read book Biology of Termites: a Modern Synthesis written by David Edward Bignell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology of Termites, a Modern Synthesis brings together the major advances in termite biology, phylogenetics, social evolution and biogeography. In this new volume, David Bignell, Yves Roisin and Nathan Lo have brought together leading experts on termite taxonomy, behaviour, genetics, caste differentiation, physiology, microbiology, mound architecture, biogeography and control. Very strong evolutionary and developmental themes run through the individual chapters, fed by new data streams from molecular sequencing, and for the first time it is possible to compare the social organisation of termites with that of the social Hymenoptera, focusing on caste determination, population genetics, cooperative behaviour, nest hygiene and symbioses with microorganisms. New chapters have been added on termite pheromones, termites as pests of agriculture and on destructive invasive species.
Book Synopsis Termites and Sustainable Management by : Md. Aslam Khan
Download or read book Termites and Sustainable Management written by Md. Aslam Khan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Volume comprises 12 chapters in an attempt to bring available information on biology, social behavour and economic importance of termites. Chapters in this book dealing with termites identification provide a review on most updated information of their systematics. Ecologically, termites interact with living and non-living surroundings and deliver a wide range of behaviors. In a separate chapter termites ecology is examined and explored. Termites depend on their gut microbes for digestion of complex polysaccharides of wood into simpler molecules. Information provided on termite gut microbiome and lignocellulose degradation constitutes an important contribution. Termite biology and social behaviour have been addressed comprehensively. Trail pheromones are responsible for the orientation and recruitment of nestmates to the food sources. Once arriving at a potential food source, termites assess its quality using a different set of cues. A separate chapter on trail pheromones, cues used during foraging and food assessment, with preferences for foraging sites, contributes a wealth of information. Emphasis has been given on reviewing ecological benefits of termites in other chapters. The information with respect to termite species as an edible insect and the overall role it plays in food and nutrition security in Africa is quite informative. A separate chapter dealing with importance of termites and termitaria in mineral exploration constitutes a significant step in addressing the economic importance of this insect group.
Book Synopsis Termites and Sustainable Management by : Md. Aslam Khan
Download or read book Termites and Sustainable Management written by Md. Aslam Khan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This termite Volume 2 comprises 13 chapters in an attempt to bring all available information on sustainable and eco-friendly termite management. The previous Volume considered the biology, social behaviour and economic importance of these insects. Chapters in this book dealing with damage and specific management of fungus-growing termites provide a review on most recent methodologies used for management. Termite damage crops from sowing till harvest. As it is difficult to detect damages in field, usually it is too late when the symptoms are noticed. A separate chapter on issues related to Indian agriculture and the contemporary practices being followed by majority of the Indian farmers is quite informative. Similarly, a case study for termites infesting Malaysian forests constitutes an important contribution. Various issues related to integrated and eco-friendly termite management in tropical conditions have been addressed comprehensively. Potential role of microbes has also been discussed in detail in other chapters. The information contained under these chapters should help termite management in a way that natural resources can be used and maintained for the generations to come. Similarly, the chapter on physical barriers contributes a wealth of information that can be useful all over the world where termite is a problem. Emphasis has been laid on reviewing contribution of synthetic chemical insecticides in termite management. A separate chapter dealing with standard norms in wood protection constitute a significant step in this direction. A further chapter throws light on the potential of biotechnology as a tool in management..
