This book was released on 2013 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subterranean termite genus Reticulitermes includes some of the most economically destructive termites in the United States, where it is estimated that costs associated with prevention and control may reach $11 billion annually. Despite their economic importance, there are large gaps in our understanding of subterranean termite ecology, due to their cryptic nature and the inherent difficulties of studying subterranean activity. In Missouri, subterranean termite communities differ between undeveloped forested and urban landscapes. Reticulitermes hageni Banks occurs in greater proportions than other subterranean termite species in forested landscapes, while Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar) occurs in greater proportions than other subterranean termite species in urban landscapes. Thus, it appears that subterranean termite communities change as landscapes are converted from undeveloped to urban. It is not known, however, when Reticulitermes communities change in response to urbanization, or how termite populations invade subdivisions in an altered urban landscape. It is possible that resident subterranean termite populations are eliminated when soils are graded to prepare subdivision sites for construction. It also seems likely that colonies may respond to changing moisture and temperature regimes, or new biotic associations that accompany anthropogenic disturbances and altered landscapes. The purpose of this research is to examine how landscape factors are associated with subterranean termite communities and patterns of invasion as subdivisions are constructed and age over time. Subterranean termites were collected from 25 areas in Columbia, Missouri that were classified along a gradient of urbanization to include 1) undeveloped landscapes; 2) anthropogenically disturbed landscapes; 3) 10-year-old subdivisions; and 4) 20-year-old subdivisions. Subterranean termite communities were assessed by identifying species using PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). Because secondary reproductive termites can differentiate as colonies mature and age, microsatellite DNA was used to compare breeding structure of colonies from different aged subdivisions to determine whether there is a relationship between colony maturity and the age of subdivisions. Patterns of subterranean termite invasion in subdivisions were further evaluated by examining homes for evidence of termite treatment. The interaction between landscape features and subterranean termite activity was assessed using GIS software. Relative proportions of Reticulitermes spp. in communities occurring in forest landscapes and urban areas are similar to previous reports for the State of Missouri. Termite communities appear to be eliminated in the landscape when undeveloped landscapes are disturbed by subdivision site preparation, although remnant colonies can persist in areas that are not disturbed. Reticulitermes flavipes appears to invade subdivisions quickly regardless of historical landscape; however, R. hageni invasions generally become more common as subdivisions age and forest area increases. Reticulitermes colonies in undeveloped forests are more inbred and likely have more secondary reproductive than colonies in urban subdivisions. Therefore, colonies in forests probably tend to be older than colonies in subdivisions, which may have resulted from recent invasions. Infestation frequencies are lower in historically agricultural subdivisions than historically forested subdivisions at year 10, but frequencies are almost equal by year 20. Infestation frequencies in historically agricultural subdivisions appear to catch up to frequencies in historically forested subdivisions over time, and this is likely correlated with an increase in forest land cover as subdivisions age.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Biology - Behaviour, South Eastern Kenya University, Kitui Campus, language: English, abstract: Termites are eusosial organisms that have a profile of destructive and menacing organisms that serve an insignificant role in Earth’s ecology complex system. In the semi arid parts of Kenya, they are thought to be the primary cause of vegetation denudation especially during the dry seasons. Even after several years of Biology advancement its uncouth how most people have failed to appreciate the incredible role this animal perform in their niche for the benefit of humanity, especially in the inhospitable arid and infertile environments. Moisture shortage and the elevated temperatures characterize these regions, which has discouraged the survival of many decomposers in this environment leaving only a few species that have adapted to the conditions to survive, notably several species of termites. Water is life; this truth is not lost on these creatures. Some species of termites have evolved to such a level that they have the abilities to forage over unusual long distances and partially control their own dwelling environments, through the construction of nests structures in such a way that humidity and temperature does not vary all seasons. Termites create ingenious nests (mounds) from their waste materials and soils through tightly packing every particle together, creating waterproof corridors. For this reason, many have termed them as soil engineers. The termites’ ability to digest cellulose gives them advantage over other soil macro decomposers. This is enhanced by their mutualistic coexistence with certain bacteria in their gut that enables them to digest cellulose, which is the main constituent of their diet. Overall, Termites are most active soil macro inverts dominating the decomposition process in arid and semi arid environment during the dry seasons.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this thesis is the symbiosis between flagellates and bacteria in the gut of dry-wood termites (Kalotermitidae). In a series of studies, the evolution of devescovinid flagellates and their bacterial symbionts was elucidated, and the physiological basis of the symbiosis was investigated, with a focus on nitrogen fixation. Devescovinid flagellates are the dominant flagellates in the gut of Kalotermitidae. Species-pure suspensions of devescovinid flagellates (Devescovina and Metadevescovina species) from a wide range of termite species in the family Kalotermitidae were isolated with micropipettes. Ribosomal RNA gene sequences of the host flagellates and their bacterial symbionts were obtained using a full-cycle-rRNA approach. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Devescovina spp. present in many species of Kalotermitidae form a monophyletic group. They were consistently associated with a distinct lineage of ectosymbionts, which form a monophyletic group among the Bacteroidales. The well-supported congruence of their phylogenies documented strict cospeciation of flagellates and their ectosymbionts, which were temporarily classified as "Candidatus Armantifilum devescovinae". Nevertheless, the complete incongruence between the phylogenies of devescovinid flagellates and Kalotermitidae (COII genes) demonstrated horizontal transfer of flagellates among several species of Kalotermitidae. The presence of filamentous "A. devescovinae" on the surface of Devescovina spp. was corroborated with scanning electron microscopy and fluorescent in situ hybridization. However, several Metadevescovina species, which form a sister group of Devescovina spp., did not possess Bacteroidales ectosymbionts. Moreover, a combination of molecular analysis and electron microscopy led to a correction of the previously overestimated diversity of Metadevescovina species in the gut of termite Incisitermes marginipennis. In contrast to the Bacteroidales ectosymbionts, the endosymbionts of Deves.

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.
