Termites
The book is a new compendium in which leading termite scientists review the advances of the last 30 years in our understanding of phylogeny, fossil records, relationships with cockroaches, social evolution, nesting, behaviour, mutualisms with archaea, protists, bacteria and fungi, nutrition, energy metabolism, population and community ecology, soil conditioning, greenhouse gas production and pest status.
Termites and Borers
A consumer-oriented and compact handbook written in plain English for a general audience with an interest in protecting their home against termites (and other timber pests such as borers). The revision brings the book right up to date, discussing new termite detection techniques, as well as treatment options for termite infestations.
Biology of Termites: a Modern Synthesis
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.
Building Out Termites
A guide for home-owners, builders and architects on minimising the use of conventional chemicals in termite control. Includes information on the biology and ecology of termites.
Termites
Termites are amazing builders. Some build mounds more than 15 feet above ground! How do they do that? These social insects live and work together in colonies. Each colony member has its own job. Discover how termites build their nests, communicate, and depend on one another to survive in their huge colonies.
Termites and UK Buildings
The unintentional importation and subsequent establishment of subterranean termites in a localised area in Saunton, North Devon has provided definitive evidence of the ability of at least one genus of termite to survive in the UK climate and to present a risk to UK buildings. This Digest describes the biology of termites, their likely significance as potential structural pests in the UK, and gives guidance on diagnosis of infestation, recognition and the key principles of termite detection and management. The Digest concentrates particularly on species of the genus Reticulitermes, because this genus is well established in continental Europe and poses the most significant threat to UK buildings and related structures. This Digest is in two parts. Part 1 deals with biology, detection and diagnosis. Part 2 deals with control and management, including colony elimination for eradication purposes.
Biology of Termites
Biology of Termites, Volume I presents the anatomical, physiological, biochemical, and behavioral laboratory and field studies of termite species. Although termites have been associated mainly with damage, only less than 10% of the species have actually been recorded as pests, obscuring their important ecological role in the breakdown of vegetative matter and their variety and complexity of structure, physiology, social behavior, caste differentiation and regulation, and other aspects of their biology. After briefly describing the social organization, classification, and research history of termites, the book discusses the external morphology of these species and the similarities and differe...
Australian Termites and Other Common Timber Pests
While it is scientifically based and the result of years of research and fieldwork, this book is a clear and concise guide for all who need to understand how to protect buildings from termite attack: pest controllers, landscapers, horticulturalists, builders and architects. In addition, every householder will find it an invaluable source of information which could easily save them thousands of dollars.
