13. PHYSICAL, MECHANICAL AND THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF ADOBE STABILIZED WITH “SYNTHETIC TERMITE SALIVA”
ABSTRACT Adobe is an efficient construction material for several reasons, such as its thermal comfort, sustainability, and lower energy cost, as well as the simplicity of its production and execution. However, challenges such as water absorption, capillarity, and compressive strength should be investigated to improve its physical and mechanical properties. �

14. Natural Resistance of Seven Amazon Woods to Xylophagous Termite Nasutitermes octopilis (Banks)
ABSTRACT Some Amazonian woods are considered highly resistant to the attack of microorganisms; however, which ones present the highest resistance is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the natural resistance of seven woods to xylophagous termite Nasutitermes octopilis through a no-choice feeding assay. The following wood species were assessed: Dinizia exc

15. A new termite species of the genus Dihoplotermes Araújo (Blattaria, Isoptera, Termitidae) from the Brazilian Amazonian rainforest
RESUMO Dihoplotermes, que era um gênero monotípico, agora é composto por duas espécies. Dihoplotermes taurus sp. nov., uma nova espécie de cupim Termitinae, é descrita e ilustrada com base nos caracteres morfológicos dos soldados, operários e imago. A nova espécie se diferencia de Dihoplotermes inusitatus Araujo por apresentar uma protuberância em

16. Termite assemblages (Blattaria, Isoptera) in two montane forest (Brejo de Altitude) areas in northeastern Brazil
Resumo: Enclaves de floresta úmida de altitude nos domínios da Caatinga, localmente conhecidos como "Brejos de Altitude", estão associados a áreas com mais de 500 m de altitude e às chuvas orográficas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a estrutura da taxocenose de térmitas em duas áreas de Brejo de Altitude localizadas nos municípios

17. Soil Physical and Chemical Properties in Epigeal Termite Mounds in Pastures
ABSTRACT We characterized soil physical and chemical properties and soil organic matter in epigeal termite mounds in pastures to evaluate the changes promoted by termites in comparison to an adjacent area. We selected seven active epigeal termite mounds in the municipality of Seropédica, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Soil samples were collected from top

18. Termite Mounds Effects on Soil Properties in the Atlantic Forest Biome
ABSTRACT Termites have peculiar activities in the soil, inducing significant changes in the soil properties. The objective of this study was to assess physical and chemical properties and soil organic matter to evaluate the effect of termite activity and termite mounds on the soil. Two toposequences were selected and divided in slope thirds (shoulder, backsl

19. Antimicrobial Diterpene from the Brazilian Termite Nasutitermes macrocephalus (Isoptera: Termitidae: Natutitermitinae)
Termites are insects with a complex social organization on castes among which soldiers are the only responsible for the colony defense. The soldiers of the Nasutitermes genus use chemical defense, which comprises a mixture of mono, sesqui and mainly diterpenes. The new diterpene 2b,3a-dihydroxy-trinervita-1(15),11-diene, found in Nasutitermes macrocephalus,

20. Brazilian Bioluminescent Beetles: Reflections on Catching Glimpses of Light in the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado
ABSTRACT Bioluminescence - visible and cold light emission by living organisms - is a worldwide phenomenon, reported in terrestrial and marine environments since ancient times. Light emission from microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals may have arisen as an evolutionary response against oxygen toxicity and was appropriated for sexual attraction, predation

21. Cloning and purification of the first termicin-like peptide from the cockroach Eupolyphaga sinensis
Abstract Background Termicin is an antimicrobial peptide with six cysteines forming three disulfide bridges that was firstly isolated from the salivary glands and hemocytes of the termite Pseudacanthotermes spiniger. In contrast to many broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides, termicin is most active against filamentous fungi. Although more than one hundred

22. Termite assemblages (Blattodea: Isoptera) in a habitat humidity gradient in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil
ABSTRACT We compared the termite assemblages of different ecosystems in a humidity gradient. Three areas were sampled: (i) a humid montane forest; (ii) a hillside forest where shaded coffee (Coffea arabica Linnaeus, 1753) is cultivated; (iii) a seasonally dry forest (Caatinga). Active collection protocols were employed in each area during the dry and rainy s

24. First pollen survey of murundus in the Chapada Diamantina region of the state of Bahia, Brazil
This was a pollen survey, in which we analyzed the sediments and moss polsters of murundus (termite mounds) in the Chapada Diamantina region of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Palynological treatment revealed the presence of 53 pollen types in murundus sediments, of which 23 were related to plants in the semi-arid zone and 30 remained unidentified. In moss polst
