  • Termites in a Structure
    Detecting and Identifying Termites in a Structure The threat of insects in or around your home can be alarming, especially when those insects can cause structural damage. It is important to know if insects you find around the house are in fact termites or some other crawling insect. Subterranean termites are found everywhere in the contiguous United States, making the possibility of termite infestation a widespread structural damage problem. Early detection and treatment of termites can drastically reduce the threat of damage to your home. Detection Subterranean termites require moisture and usually remain hidden—they may never be seen by the homeowner. Termites often consume the interior portion of a piece of Four main characteristics differentiate termites from ants: wood but leave the outer shell intact to protect themselves against desiccation (drying out). Therefore, it is easy to overlook the occurrence of termites and mistake a termite- damaged board for sound wood. One clear indication of termite infestation is the appearance of shelter tubes made of soil and sand and stemming from an underground location near the building. These tubes protect the termites from desiccation as they travel between the soil and your house. Shelter tubes are found commonly in basements of infected homes or running from the soil to the house. Termites are social insects and live in large colonies with organized caste systems. Worker termites—the most common caste encountered—are likely to be visible during a home inspection. Soldier termites, although far less numerous, are also likely to be found. Identification Both worker and soldier termites are white in color, with a small amount of brown on their backs, and are ¼-inch long.

  • Carpenter Bees Xylocopa Species; Family: Anthophoridae; Subfamily: Xylocopinae
    INSECT DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY IDL Cornell University, Dept. of Entomology, 2144 Comstock Hall, Ithaca NY 14853-2601 Carpenter Bees Xylocopa species; Family: Anthophoridae; Subfamily: Xylocopinae Carpenter Bee Wood damage: tunnel (with cells for larvae). Photo from www.forestryimages.org USDA Forest Service, Wood Products Insect Lab Archives, USDA Forest Station. Injury Carpenter bees bore into wood to make a home for the young. In preferred sites, bees can drill a large number of holes. A common species in the Northeast, Xylocopa virginica, drills holes 1/2 inch in diameter. Often the same nesting sites are used year after year, and the same tunnels are reused. The damage is primarily to fascia boards. Nail holes, exposed saw cuts, and unpainted wood are attractive nesting sites to these insects. Porches, garages, shed ceilings and trim, railings, roof overhangs and outdoor wooden furniture, are all common nesting sites. Continued borings may weaken some wooden structures, and the yellow "sawdust and pollen" waste materials may stain cars, clothing, or furniture. Behavior The males are territorial, and in the spring they often guard the potential nest sites. They discourage intruders by hovering or darting at any moving thing that ventures into the nesting area. This can create a "human annoyance" factor, and it is one that often startles and concerns the homeowner. However, male carpenter bees do not sting. The female carpenter bee, like many other bees, can sting -- but it is uncommon for her to do so. Description Carpenter bees of the genus Xylocopa are large black and yellow insects about one inch long that closely resemble bumblebees.

  • Molecular Ecology and Social Evolution of the Eastern Carpenter Bee
    Molecular ecology and social evolution of the eastern carpenter bee, Xylocopa virginica Jessica L. Vickruck, B.Sc., M.Sc. Department of Biological Sciences Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © 2017 Abstract Bees are extremely valuable models in both ecology and evolutionary biology. Their link to agriculture and sensitivity to climate change make them an excellent group to examine how anthropogenic disturbance can affect how genes flow through populations. In addition, many bees demonstrate behavioural flexibility, making certain species excellent models with which to study the evolution of social groups. This thesis studies the molecular ecology and social evolution of one such bee, the eastern carpenter bee, Xylocopa virginica. As a generalist native pollinator that nests almost exclusively in milled lumber, anthropogenic disturbance and climate change have the power to drastically alter how genes flow through eastern carpenter bee populations. In addition, X. virginica is facultatively social and is an excellent organism to examine how species evolve from solitary to group living. Across their range of eastern North America, X. virginica appears to be structured into three main subpopulations: a northern group, a western group and a core group. Population genetic analyses suggest that the northern and potentially the western group represent recent range expansions. Climate data also suggest that summer and winter temperatures describe a significant amount of the genetic differentiation seen across their range. Taken together, this suggests that climate warming may have allowed eastern carpenter bees to expand their range northward. Despite nesting predominantly in disturbed areas, eastern carpenter bees have adapted to newly available habitat and appear to be thriving.

I am very impressive for his meticulous attitude for scientific research. I benefited greatly from his valuable and illuminating suggestions for my research. It is also very touching for Dr. Henderson’s patience for my preliminary and sometimes “crazy” ideas. Also, he always could “see” what I ignored. For example, when I unintentionally talked about an observation that soldier and worker termites run in different directions after disturbance, he immediately pointed out the potential value to continue studying this and gave me valuable suggestions in the experiment.
