Associação de Constrictotermes cyphergaster Silvestri (Isoptera: Termitidae) com espécies arbóreas do Cerrado brasileiro

Abstract: Neotropical Entomology 35(1): 049-055 (2006) Association of Constrictotermes cyphergaster Silvestri (Isoptera: Termitidae) with Trees in the Brazilian Cerrado ABSTRACT -Termites usually build nests differently shaped and characterized according to each species, to protect and keep society cohesion. Some species build nests in the ground, some prefer tree thunks or branches as support, whereas other dig galleries in the wood. = 214.986, gl. = 20, P < 0.001). This relationship may be found among other termite… Show more

“…Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Silvestri, 1901) was the most studied species (10 studies). Constrictotermes cyphergaster has been extensively studied in the ecosystems where it occurs, and studies citing "Mathews 1977" have regarded its interaction with other species residing the termite nest (Cunha & Brandão, 2000;Cunha et al, 2003;Cristaldo et al, 2012;Cristaldo et al, 2014), supplementary reproductives (Cunha & Brandão, 2002), eating habits (Moura et al, 2006a;Moura et al, 2006b), link between nest building and some plant species (Lima-Ribeiro et al, 2006;Silva et al, 2007;Bezerra-Gusmão et al, 2013), nest population and biomass (Vasconcellos et al, 2007), development of the caste system (Moura et al, 2011), and contribution to the carbon cycle (Bezerra-Gusmão et al, 2011).…”

“…Many species build large and complex mounds, which may harbor a rich associated fauna, including other termite species, arthropods, and even vertebrates (Constantino, 1999). Some types of termite mounds may reach high density (Lima-Ribeiro et al, 2006). The volume and the number of termite mounds vary considerably depending on the termite species and environmental conditions (Bezerra-Gusmão et al, 2011).…”

“…Many other organisms depend on termites as a source of food and organic matter, or use their mounds for shelter (Constantino and Schlemmermeyer, 2000). In the Brazilian Cerrado, termite mounds are abundant, and some types have a high population density (Lima-Ribeiro et al, 2006). In cultivated pastures of this region, termite populations can be very high as indicated by large densities of mounds, but the diversity of species is greatly reduced.…”
