1. Laboratory and field evaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae for controlling subterranean termites
The efficacy of the Metarhizium anisopliae strain ARSEF 6911 was determined in the laboratory and field against two sugarcane pests, Microtermes obesi Holmgren and Odontotermes obesus Rambur (Termitidae: Isoptera). The susceptibility of both termite species to different conidial suspensions (1 × 10(10), 1 × 10(8), 1 × 10(6) and 1 × 10(4) conidia/ml) was

2. Pathogenicity of the fungi genus Isaria (Persoon) on Coptotermes gestroi(Wasmann) (Isoptera : Rhinotermitidae) and immunologic aspects / Patogenicidade de fungos do gênero Isaria (Persoon) sobre Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Isoptera : Rhinotermitidae) e aspectos imunológicos
O cupim Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) é uma praga urbana e agrícola que vem se estabelecendo em muitas áreas do mundo. A utilização de fungos entomopatogênicos é uma opção para minimizar os prejuízos econômicos causados por este cupim. Sabe-se, contudo, que distúrbios fisiológicos ocasionados por um patógeno desencadeiam reações de defesa pel

3. Avaliações Mensais de Estacas de Pinus como Isca-Armadilha para Cupins Subterrâneos em Áreas de Composições Florísticas Distintas no Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro e Avaliação de Extratos Botânicos como Cupinicida. / Monthly Assessments of Stakes of Pinus as Bait-Trap for Subterranean Termites in Different Areas of Compositions Florísticas in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro and Evaluation botanical extracts as Cupinicida
This work was made in the Research Institute Botanic Garden of Rio de Janeiro (JBRJ) where two experiments were carried out in two steps. The first step had the following objectives: to study the attack behavior of subterranean termites over stakes of pinus trap in three areas of different compositions floristic seed source in the JBRJ, appointed by cerrado-

4. Eficiência de inseticidas para preservar madeira contra danos de cupim subterrâneo / Efficiency of insecticides to preserve wood against damages of subterranean termite
A field test was developed to evaluate the efficiency of three insecticides as wood preservatives against damages caused by the subterranean termite Coptotermes havilandi Holmgren, 1911 (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). The commercial products with their respective appraised active ingredients were: Dursban 4E chlorpyrifos; Diazinon 60 EC diazinon and Dragnet 384

5. População e território de forrageamento de uma colônia de Heterotermes tenuis (Hagen) (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae)
Heterotermes tenuis (Hagen, 1858) is a subterranean termite that cause damage in forests, crops and urban areas. The population and foraging territory of an urban colony were determined using triple mark-release-recapture technique. Foraging population was estimated in 134,583 ± 5,803 individuals. The foraging territory encompassed an area of 175,5 m² and

6. Meliponini neotropicais: o gênero Partamona Schwarz, 1939 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Apinae) - bionomia e biogeografia
This work, dedicated to the study of nesting habits of the species of the Neotropical genus Partamona Schwarz, is a sequence to the taxonomic revision recently published elsewhere. A total of 214 nests and nest aggregations of 18 species [Partamona epiphytophila Pedro & Camargo, 2003; P. testacea (Klug, 1807); P. mourei Camargo, 1980; P. vicina Camargo, 1980

7. Diagnóstico da ocorrência de cupins xilófagos em árvores urbanas do bairro de Higienópolis, na cidade de São Paulo. / Diagnosis of the occurrence of xylophagous termites in urban trees of a neighborhood of São Paulo city, Brazil.
The problem of xylophagous termites in the edifications and historical buildings of the city of São Paulo, Brazil, is not confined to these structures, but also to the trees which, besides being attacked can shelter these insects of subterranean habit. The dispersion capacity of these termites can jeopardize the biological sanity of other trees and also of

8. Physiological ecology of Methanobrevibacter cuticularis sp. nov. and Methanobrevibacter curvatus sp. nov., isolated from the hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes.
Two morphologically distinct, H2- and CO2-utilizing methanogens were isolated from gut homogenates of the subterranean termite, Reticulitermes-flavipes (Kollar) (Rhinotermitidae). Strain RFM-1 was a short straight rod (0.4 by 1.2 micron), whereas strain RFM-2 was a slightly curved rod (0.34 by 1.6 microns) that possessed polar fibers. Their morphology, gram-
