Insect-Mediated Nitrogen Dynamics in Decomposing Wood
Ecological Entomology (2015), 40 (Suppl. 1), 97–112 DOI: 10.1111/een.12176 INSECTS AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES SPECIAL ISSUE Insect-mediated nitrogen dynamics in decomposing wood MICHAEL D. ULYSHEN USDA Forest Service, Athens, Georgia, U.S.A. Abstract. 1. Wood decomposition is characterised by complex and poorly understood nitrogen (N) dynamics with unclear implications for forest nutrient cycling and productivity. Wood-dwelling microbes have developed unique strategies for coping with the N limitations imposed by their substrate, including the translocation of N into wood by cord-forming fungi and the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen2 (N ) by bacteria and Archaea. 2. By accelerating the release of nutrients immobilised in fungal tissues and promoting N2 fixation by free-living and endosymbiotic prokaryotes, saproxylic insects have the potential to influence N dynamics in forests. 3. Prokaryotes capable of fixing N2 appear to be commonplace among wood-feeding insects, with published records from three orders (Blattodea, Coleoptera and Hymenoptera), 13 families, 33 genera and at least 60 species. These organisms appear to play a significant role in the N economies of their hosts and represent a widespread solution to surviving on a diet of wood. 4. While agricultural research has demonstrated the role that termites and other insects can play in enhancing crop yields, the importance of saproxylic insects to forest productivity remains unexplored. Key words. Arthropods, diazotroph, ecosystem services, Isoptera, mineralisation, saproxylic, symbiosis. Introduction the N-rich tissues of particular insect and fungal species. For example, Baker (1969) reported that Anobium punctatum (De Nitrogen (N) is the limiting nutrient in many systems (Vitousek Geer) developing in dry wood acquired 2.5 times the amount & Howarth, 1991; LeBauer & Treseder, 2008) and this is espe- of N provided by the wood itself. -

Changes in Composition of Culturable Bacteria Community in the Gut of the Formosan Subterranean Termite Depending on Rearing Conditions of the Host
ARTHROPOD BIOLOGY Changes in Composition of Culturable Bacteria Community in the Gut of the Formosan Subterranean Termite Depending on Rearing Conditions of the Host 1 2 3 C. HUSSENEDER, J. M. BERESTECKY, AND J. K. GRACE Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 102(3): 498Ð507 (2009) Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/aesa/article/102/3/498/8634 by guest on 23 September 2021 ABSTRACT The hindgut of feeding termites that feed on wood and litter contains a diverse population of bacteria and protists that contribute to the carbon, nitrogen, and energy requirements of the termite. For understanding the ecological balance in the termite gut, detailed knowledge about the composition of the microbial gut ßora is imperative, i.e., the numbers and relative proportions of the microbial taxa and the variability in the microbial composition among different termite colonies and living conditions of termites should be described. Therefore, we isolated and enumerated eight bacterial morphotypes from the gut of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki. Five morphotypes (three isolates of lactic acid bacteria, isolates of the family Enterobacte- riaceae and isolates belonging to the genus Dysgonomonas) were found frequently in all termite colonies. Three additional morphotypes were found sporadically and were considered to be transient ßora. We compared the proportions of the three lactic acid bacteria isolates and the Enterobacte- riaceae among three different termite colonies. Furthermore, we investigated the shift in proportions of these four major morphotypes depending on whether bacteria were isolated from freshly collected termites or from termites reared in the laboratory under seminatural conditions (in arenas on wood) or artiÞcial conditions (in petri dishes on Þlter paper). -
