Abstract
The behavior of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, is directed by a no. of chems. produced by members of various castes in the colony.

These chems. were isolated from the termite cuticle, sternal gland, and tergal gland. Compd. identities, quantities, and species comparisons were examdFile in questo prodotto:
