Twenty-four different combinations of six temperatures (15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, and 40°C) and four relative humidity (RH)
(60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%) conditions were used for pseudergates of the western dry-wood termite Incisitermes minor (Hagen). The feeding activities of the termites were monitored by the detection of generated acoustic emission (AE) events
from feeder wood blocks in a test chamber. Temperature and RH showed independent and interactive significant effects on the
feeding activity of I. minor. The optimal temperature and RH conditions for the feeding activities were 35°C and 70%, respectively, and the optimal combinations
were 35°C-70% and 35°C-80% with an exceptionally higher feeding activity at the combination condition of 30°C-70%. 相似文献

Five Japanese timbers, four timbers from the USA, and one Malaysian timber were evaluated for their resistance to the invasive
dry-wood termite Incisitermes minor (Hagen) using laboratory choice and no-choice feeding tests with holed specimens. The highest survival rates of I. minor in both the heartwood and sapwood no-choice feeding tests were more than 70% after 3 months. When offered sapwood and heartwood
choice feeding tests and the combined choice feeding tests, the highest survival rates of I. minor were more than 75% after 3 months. With regards to the percentage of wood mass losses in the no-choice and choice feeding
tests, karamatsu (Larix leptolepsis), buna (Fagus crenata), and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) were classified as “resistant” species among the ten sapwood specimens. In the heartwood no-choice and choice feeding tests,
the resistant species were buna, karamatsu, Douglas fir, sugi (Cryptomeria japonica), akamatsu (Pinus densiflora), and western red cedar (Thuja plicata). The ranking of the resistance of the ten commercial timbers against I. minor was buna > karamatsu > sugi > western red cedar > Douglas fir > rubber > western hemlock > hinoki > spruce. 相似文献

A gas detection apparatus equipped with a semiconductor gas sensor was employed for qualitative and quantitative measurement of hydrogen and methane emitted by termites. A gas sample of 2.5 ml was injected into the semiconductor gas sensor through the gas detection apparatus, and the maximum voltage of the sensor was converted into gas concentration. The gas samples were collected from three distinct experiments: (1) five combinations of workers and soldiers of Coptotermes formosanus with and without a wood specimen; (2) C. formosanus under six temperature conditions; and (3) four different termite species, C. formosanus, Reticulitermes speratus, Incisitermes minor, and Zootermopsis nevadensis. The hydrogen and methane concentrations increased with an increase in the number of termites. Concentrations were higher in samples with a wood specimen than without it. Both hydrogen and methane concentrations were the highest for the samples at 35 °C and were lowest at 15 and 5 °C. The concentrations were very low at 45 °C because all the termites had died in a few hours. The concentrations of hydrogen and methane were highest for Z. nevadensis, the dampwood termite, among the four species, and no methane was detected for I. minor, the drywood termite, at 28 °C and 75 % RH. 相似文献

The termite Nasutitermes corniger is attracted to weathered wood, but it is not known whether this attraction is of chemical or physical nature. This work examines whether wood extracts can change the attraction of N. corniger to a food substrate. In a first experiment, filter paper impregnated with a eucalyptus extract, Eucalyptus grandis, and another one with a solvent were placed in the foraging arena of N. corniger nests under laboratory conditions. The extracts used were from weathered or unweathered wood. During the second experiment, two tests were performed using eucalyptus wood. First, a piece of unweathered wood was impregnated with an extract of weathered wood (treatment) or solvent (control). In the second test, a piece of weathered wood was impregnated with an extract of unweathered wood (treatment) and another one with solvent (control). At the end of the tests, the number of termite recruitment on each substrate was quantified. Filter paper recruited more termites when treated with unweathered wood extracts or with extracts of weathered wood than when impregnated with the solvent. Unweathered wood treated with extracts of weathered wood recruited more termites than the control. However, weathered wood impregnated with extracts of unweathered wood recruited similar numbers of termites as the same wood impregnated with the solvent. It was verified that chemicals from weathered or unweathered wood increased the foraging activity of N. corniger in neutral substrates, but only chemicals from weathered wood altered the attraction of N. corniger to eucalyptus wood. 相似文献

Any means helpful for the promotion of termite feeding activity has potential for use in a matrix in termite bait application.
Therefore, energy transfer by gamma irradiation is worthy of consideration for converting wood into termite-accessible material.
Wood specimens gamma-irradiated at 100 kGy and at lower levels were tested for their degrees of polymerization (DP) of cellulose
and biological resistance. The DP of cellulose adversely decreased with increased doses of gamma irradiation. Termite wood
consumption rates, which were determined by laboratory tests using undifferentiated larvae (workers) of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, were significantly higher at 100 kGy than at other doses. On the other hand, the decay resistance of gamma-irradiated
wood against the fungi Fomitopsis palustris (Berkeley et Curtis) Murrill and Trametes versicolor (L. ex Fr.) Quel did not vary by irradiation dose. 相似文献

Reduction of manganese dioxide is demonstrated for an in vitro ferrireductase system that includes NADPH-dependent ferrireductase and the iron-binding compound (IBC) isolated from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624. The Fe(II)–IBC complex was more effective in reducing manganese dioxide to Mn(II) than were complexes of Fe(II) and organic acids of low molecular weight such as nitrilotriacetate, although IBC also reduced manganese dioxide to Mn(II) in the absence of Fe(II). The generated Fe(III)–IBC complex was a better substrate for NADPH-dependent ferrireductase than were other ferric chelates, suggesting that the Fe(III)–IBC complex is reduced to an Fe(II) complex by NADPH-dependent ferrireductase. Moreover, production of the Fe(III)–IBC complex by the reduction of manganese dioxide in a reaction system containing Fe(II) and IBC was observed to be coupled to reduction of the Fe(III)–IBC complex by NADPH-dependent ferrireductase. These results indicate that the ferrireductase system of P. sordida YK-624 plays an important role in the reduction of manganese dioxide, which is necessary for the production and function of manganese peroxidase. 相似文献

DNA was extracted from wood samples of six representativeCyclobalanopsis species (Fagaceae) growing in Japan that cannot be distinguished from one another by conventional microscopy. A part of the intergenic spacer region betweentrnT andtrnT 5 exon was amplified and sequenced. The sequences obtained from wood samples were grouped into three DNA types by a single nucleotide polymorphism as reported previously in leaf samples: I (Quercus acuta, Q. sessilifolia, Q. salicina), II (Q. myrsinaefolia, Q. glauca), and III (Q. gilva). Thus,Q. gilva can be distinguished from the otherQuercus species, and the others are separated in two subgroups based on DNA polymorphism. The present findings support the possibility of wood identification based on DNA polymorphism. 相似文献

The treatability of wood (sapwood ofCryptomeria japonica D. Don) and wood-based composites (particleboard, waferboard, medium-density fiberboard, plywood) with vapor-boron was good, and the treated materials proved to be resistant to decay fungi and subterranean termites in laboratory bioassays. No difference in effectiveness was noted between vapor-boron and liquid-boron treatment of wood. Toxic threshold values determined for solid wood were 0%–0.24%, 0.26%–0.51%, and 0.26%–0.51% BAE (boric acid equivalent), respectively, against the white-rot fungusTrametes versicolor (L.: Fr.) Pilat, the brown-rot fungusFomitopsis palustris (Berk. et Curt.), and the subterranean termiteCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki. A concentration of less than 1% BAE seemed sufficient to control biological attacks on composites, although the toxic limits could not be determined more accurately because of the tested range of boron retention. High boron retention was needed to meet the performance requirements for slow-burning materials when a fire-retardant agent was not incorporated into the glue line. 相似文献

The relationship between the moisture content (MC) of wood blocks and the feeding activities of two Japanese subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe), was investigated with two choice tests. When three wood blocks with low MC (6%–12%), middle MC (79%–103%), and high MC (140%–182%) were exposed to workers of C. formosanus and R. speratus in a choice test, the feeding preferences were found in the middle MC blocks for C. formosanus, and the middle and high MC blocks for R. speratus, although wood blocks of low MC were also attacked. In a second choice test, wood blocks consisting of five pieces with water-impregnated (MC: 133%–191%) top, middle, or bottom piece were exposed to workers of both species. Higher consumptions were generally obtained in water-impregnated wood pieces and bottom pieces. 相似文献

Baiting is considered to be a relatively environmentally benign termite control method; however, all commercial baiting systems are designed for species in the Rhinotermitidae and are used primarily in temperate countries. Fungus-growing termites in the Macrotermitidae can be important pests in tropical countries; they can be difficult to control using all available methods, and there are no baiting systems designed for them. We tested bait station size, an important component of bait station design, against two Macrotermes species in Singapore. Macrotermes gilvus recruited to small stations (0.35 L) very poorly and medium stations (3.6 L) poorly (both similar in size to various commercial stations), but they recruited to large stations (11.5 L) well. Macrotermes carbonarius followed a similar pattern but recruited to fewer stations overall. In the occupied stations, M. gilvus ate the bait wood, sometimes creating a fungus garden inside the stations, and brought little soil into the stations. In comparison, M. carbonarius ate no wood at all, but filled stations with soil. There was significantly less leaf litter around M. carbonarius mounds compared with M. gilvus mounds, although there were no obvious differences in habitat, which suggested that M. carbonarius eats leaf litter only and is not a pest species. Our study shows that stations much larger than current commercial options may provide a useful means for controlling pest wood-eating, fungus-growing termites in tropical countries. 相似文献

Termite bait products that contain chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) protect structures from subterranean termites via colony elimination. A hallmark of CSI baits is their dose-independent lethal time, as workers exposed to a CSI do not die until they initiate the molting process. Due to this mode of action and termite behaviors such as trophallaxis and cannibalism, a relatively small quantity of ingested CSI can spread throughout an entire colony before secondary repellency or avoidance behaviors occur, ultimately resulting in total colony elimination. In the field, only a portion of a subterranean termite colony actively forages upon a CSI bait at any given time, suggesting that only a relatively small proportion of workers may need to feed upon a CSI bait for a colony to be eliminated. In the present study, we used varying proportions of workers from whole four-year-old laboratory-reared Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) colonies (~?62,500 termites/colony on average) to determine what proportion of workers need to feed upon a CSI bait in order to achieve colony elimination. A range of 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, and 5% of the total worker population of colonies was allowed to feed on a formulated 0.5% noviflumuron bait for five days before being returned to their colonies. Colony elimination was observed for all 5%-fed and four out of six 2.5%-fed colonies by 107 days after CSI exposure. Our results confirm that only a small subset of the worker population of a colony must feed upon a CSI bait to achieve subterranean termite colony elimination.

This study examined how boiling and drying treatments influenced various physical properties of the tension wood with gelatinous
fibers (G-fibers) of a 29-yearold Zelkova branch. By boiling treatment, tension wood with numerous G-fibers contracted considerably in the longitudinal direction and
the longitudinal Young’s modulus decreased in spite of the water-saturated condition. The drying treatment caused green tension
wood and boiled tension wood with numerous G-fibers to shrink longitudinally and increased their longitudinal Young’s moduli.
These specific behaviors in tension wood were highly correlated with the proportion of G-fibers in a specimen and were probably
caused by the microscopic behavior of cellulose microfibril (CMF) in the gelatinous layers (G-layers). The longitudinal shrinkage
of tension wood due to drying suggests the existence of a hygro-sensible, noncrystalline region in the CMF, which is abundant
in the G-layer. Furthermore, the noncrystalline region in the CMF softens during boiling treatment, resulting in the reduction
of the longitudinal Young’s modulus in tension wood. The longitudinal contraction of tension wood with G-fibers by boiling
might be caused by the tensile growth stress remaining in green G-layers. However, no changes were detected in the 004 d-spacing of cellulose crystal in tension wood from the boiling and drying treatments, regardless of the proportion of G-fibers. 相似文献

Crack propagation in mixed mode in wood: a new specimen 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Summary For studies on wood structures it is important to have a reliable specimen for mixed mode loading (I+II) of a crack. A new
type of specimen derived from the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen proposed by Richard for isotropic materials has been
studied. A finite element modelization for pine (Pinus pinaster) gives calibrations in the RL, TL and TR directions. Fracture experiments show a fair agreement between stress intensity
factors obtained by calibrations and by the compliance method. 相似文献

Investigations on biological control of Heterobasidion annosum in Norway spruce with antagonistic fungi. II. Interaction experiments in wood . Seventeen fungal species were examined for antagonism against H. annosum in wood. After inoculation of stem sections and stumps by conidia and dowels, the distribution patterns of the mycelia within the wood were recorded. In spruce-wood antagonism was shown only by Hypholoma capnoides, Bjcrkandera adusta, Resinicium bicolor and Trichoderma spp. near the site of inoculation. As the distance from this site increased H. annosum became more dominant. Inoculations by dowels yielded more infections than inoculations by spores. The patterns of myeelial distribution within the wood were similar in stem sections and in stumps. Spruce stumps were colonized naturally mainly by Resinicium bicolor, Armillaria mellea s. I. and Nectria fuckeliana. In stem sections of Pinus sylvestris, however, Phlebiopsis gigantea displaced H. annosum effectively. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to explore the conditioning effects of wood panels (used as interior decorating materials). We examined hourly the temperature and relative humidity (RH) in a living environment based on the average values during winters from 1974 to 1990 in the Taipei area. Thirty-six interior finish materials attached to one inside surface of a 35cm3 simulation aluminum container were used in this study. An A/V value (surface area of interior decoration materials attached to container/inside volume of container) of 2.86m–1 or various other A/V values and panel thicknesses had no significant effect on the room temperature changing ratio. The hygroscopic conditioning performances of these decorative materials were classified into four types in accordance withb values: type I (b>0.0200) included four solid woods (unfinished), two wood-based materials, three composite materials, and one inorganic material. Type II (0.0170<b<0.0199) included one solid wood, eight wood-based materials, and two inorganic materials. Type III (0.0070<b<0.0169) included 11 wood-based materials and four inorganic materials. The RH changing ratio decreased curvilinearly with increasing interior decorating panel thickness and A/V values in a sealed container, whereasb values increased with increasing interior decorating panel thickness and A/V values in a sealed container.Part of this report was presented at ICEUPT'99, Chi-Tou, Taiwan, ROC, May 21–23, 1999 相似文献

Based on the growth, wood property of the ortets, and rooting abilities of cuttings, 32 Pinus massoniana clones for pulp use were selected from forests of superior provenance, mixed families, and progeny test of seed orchard by
two-step selection. The average height and DBH growth of three-year-old clones were 28.6% and 16.7%, respectively, higher
than those from seedlings, and average gain of wood density reached 8.7%. Rooting rate of all these clones was over 80%, 28%
higher than the clones selected by a single step. A cutting orchard of 0.33 hm2 on the hillside was constructed to intensively produce cuttings according to the tests on construction methods, pruning,
and fertilization. A total of 50,000 grade I, 37,500 grade II, and 62,500 grade III cuttings were collected per hectare of
this cutting orchard each time, and were cut three times each year. With all the above techniques, 48 hm2 of clonal forests for pulp use of those clones had been planted in five places in Fujian Province. Container stecklings are
more likely to increase the planting survival rate.

Wood-feeding termites have evolved an efficient cellulose-decomposing system. The termite has two independent cellulose-digesting
systems: one in the midgut and the other in the hindgut. Because the digestion system in the midgut should be the sole source
of soluble sugars for the host termite, the details of the decomposition of wood particles in the midgut were clarified in
one of the most common pest species, Coptotermes formosanus. The spatial distribution of cellulase in the midgut was found by immunohistochemistry, and the amount of endogenous cellulases
and the volume of the endoperitrophic space were determined. The size of wood particles in the foregut and the midgut were
compared. The results showed that one of the characteristics of wood degradation by termites is the mechanical grinding of
food by the mandibles and the cuticular apparatus of the foregut. This process greatly increases the surface area of the substrates.
Extremely high concentrations of cellulase attack the ground-up wood in the midgut, and the glucose produced is removed quickly
through the peritrophic membrane. 相似文献
