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. 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. 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

6. Durability of preservative treated Pinus lumber: evaluation through field stake test. / Durabilidade da madeira do gênero Pinus tratada com preservantes: avaliação em campo de apodrecimento.
When used in ground contact, wood is deteriorated by biological agents, as root fungi and subterranean termites. A way to increase the use of wood species of low natural durability, as the Pinus lumber, is the preservative treatment. However, there is a lack of information indicating the durability of treated wood. In order to determine the durability of pre

7. 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-
