“…The past studies were located in areas with more defined seasonal weather, and were also drier, than the locality investigated in the present study [ 21 , 22 , 25 , 49 ]. Additionally, we did not recover any Nasutitermes species (group II), while some past studies on young plantations (<10 years old) reported the presence of this genus [ 30 , 44 , 50 ]. This difference can be attributed to the plantations’ past land-use history.…”

“…A similar distribution was also observed in earlier surveys of agricultural/forestry areas in Southeast Asia. In those surveys, group I was usually recovered in disturbed environments, while group II was found in recently or selectively logged plantations [ 30 , 44 ]. These past studies also reported that group III and sometimes group IV were usually absent from the inventory where landscape burning had been used to clear the area, and they may only recover much later via colonization from an unburned adjacent area [ 30 , 45 ].…”

“…This difference can be attributed to the plantations’ past land-use history. Our surveyed plantations were formerly agricultural fields, while those in the previous studies were primary forest before being converted into plantations [ 30 , 44 ]. Additionally, we may have missed some termite species due to limited transects we conducted.…”

We conducted surveys of termite assemblages and tree trunks damaged by termites in teakwood (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations. The surveys were conducted in five-, six-, and nine-year-old plantations. We used a standardized belt-transect to collect termites and build tree inventories. Data of collected termites at the genus and functional-group levels and termites’ diversity between plantations were compared with their attack rate. The results showed that four genera of soil recycler termites belonging to groups IIf and III were present across the plantations. Distribution analysis suggested that termite communities might develop from a stochastic distribution to a nonrandom co-occurrence distribution over time. Diversity analysis showed an increased nestedness-resultant diversity contribution to the total dissimilarity over time. Observed attacks on tree trunks were superficial and limited to the outer bark, with group IIf as the main contributor. Furthermore, the level of damage done by termites to tree trunks was positively correlated with increases in the group IIf occupancy area and overgrown understory vegetation. Plantation management by maintaining an adequate understory might suppress termite attacks on fast-growing teakwood, although in the case of our study, termite attacks are inevitable when termites from group IIf were already present.

“…The termite pest species harvested in this study belong to the fungus-growers and wood-feeders groups. These two trophic groups are recognized as the main pests of rubber trees (Koudou et al, 2004 ;Hidayat ; and mango trees (Coulibaly et al, 2014). They attack trees because of their diet mainly based on cellulose and their need for water.…”

“…In addition, the presence of Coptotermes species on cocoa trees has also confirmed that this termite is closely related to cocoa trees. Coptotermes, particularly C. intermedius, was an important termite because its economic importance has been shown in crops (Hidayat, 2018) and it was one of the most destructive species of cocoa trees.…”

Termites (Isoptera) are invertebrates that play many ecological functions in terrestrial ecosystems, especially in tropical areas. Despite the beneficial impact on agriculture, some termites are caused the important damages to crops and plantations in agrosystems. Knowledge of pest species is a prerequisite for undertaking an adequate fight against these insects. A study was carried out to evaluate the incidence of termite attack on cocoa trees of the station S.A.B. (Société Agricole du Bandama) in the south of Côte d'Ivoire. Termites were searched on the cacao trees and the rate of their attack was calculated. The results show that a total of 9 species from 5 genera of termites were identified. Termite attacks on cocoa trees were mainly due to the group of Fungusgrowers and wood-feeders. These termites were responsible for 52.66% of attacks on cocoa trees. The Ancistrotermes and Pseudacanthotermes, genus of fungus-growers group, with respectively54% and 23% attack rates, constitute the most aggressive genera for cocoa trees. However, the attack intensity index was low (16.95%). The major damages were mainly caused by the genera Pseudacanthotermes and Coptotermes.
