Termites in sugar cane in Northeast Brazil: ecological aspects and pest status

Abstract: Neotropical Entomology 33(2): 237-241 (2004) Cupins em Cana-de-Açúcar no Nordeste Brasileiro: Aspectos Ecológicos e seu Potencial Como Praga RESUMO -A distribuição espacial, a abundância e os hábitos alimentares dos cupins foram estudados em uma plantação de cana-de-açúcar do Nordeste brasileiro e, com base nesses parâmetros ecológicos, o potencial praga das espécies foi discutido. Quatro espécies foram encontradas: Amitermes nordestinus Mélo & Fontes, Cylindrotermes nordenskioeldi Holmgren, Nasutitermes co… Show more

“…This deserves special attention because the first transformation is one of those most applied to data from insect populations and sometimes without verifying a priori and a posteriori the fulfillment of the assumptions. Other authors such as Miranda et al (2004), Liscano and Domínguez (2005), and Font et al (2007) have reached similar results when using square root and logarithmic type transformations.…”

“…Not a single species of this genus was encountered consuming leaves in the interior of the Atlantic Forest Complex of northeastern Brazil. The species Syntermes nanus Constantino occurred in environments near the forest areas (generally in open areas where the primary vegetation had been totally removed) and were easily seen foraging between sunset and sunrise in isolated fragments of Cerrado vegetation near the coast or in sugarcane plantations (Sena et al 2003;Miranda et al 2004). The maximum values of biomass and abundance for termites in a primary tropical forest in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve in Africa were estimated to be 123.2 g (fresh weight)/m 2 and 6957 individuals/m 2 respectively (Eggleton et al 1996).…”

“…Amitermes nordestinus, conhecida como cupim miudinho, é considerada praga em lavouras de cana-de-açúcar e de abacaxi. Em estudo realizado no Estado da Paraíba, por Miranda et al (2004), foi evidenciado seu potencial como praga em lavouras de cana-de-açúcar, tendo sido também relatados ataques a raízes de bromélias e cactos, em áreas de Caatinga e Cerrado do Nordeste do Brasil.…”
