INULINS, LEVANS, FRUCTANS AND OTHER SMALLER-THAN-CELLULOSE TERMITE FEEDING ATTRACTANTS, AND TERMITE

摘要

Termite behavior can be manipulated by providing food sources more attractive to them than their otherwise available food resources. Inulins, levans, fructans, and other 13-linked carbohydrates that are smaller than cellulose serve as termite feeding attractants/stimulants, especially for subterranean termites.
