DOI: 10.1093/jee/tow317
Abstract: Abstract Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki are economically important subterranean termites, particularly in the Southeastern United States where they are considered invasive. Where two C. formosanus populations met, aggressive encounters resulted in blockages in tunnels, but reinvading… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jee/toz293
Abstract: Abstract Concerns on efficacies of termiticides used for soil treatment to prevent Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki) infestations have prompted pest control companies to suggest that retreatments are necessary after flooding of homes. Therefore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects14020198
Abstract: Simple Summary Termites are eusocial insects that live in large colonies made up of queens, kings, workers, and soldiers. Queens and kings start new colonies and continually reproduce. Workers are responsible for many crucial roles,… read more here.
