CE ÎNSEAMNĂ TERMITE ÎN ENGLEZĂ?
termită
Termitele sunt un grup de insecte eusoiale care, până de curând, au fost clasificate la rangul taxonomic de ordin Isoptera, dar sunt acum acceptate ca infractorie Isoptera, de ordinul gândacului Blattodea. În timp ce teriții sunt cunoscuți în mod obișnuit, în special în Australia, ca "furnici albi", în scopuri practice nu au legătură cu furnicile. Ca niște furnici, precum și niște albine și viespi - care sunt toate plasate în ordinea separată, termitele Hymenoptera - divizează munca între caste, produc generații suprapuse și îngrijesc tinerii colectiv. Teritorii se hrănesc în cea mai mare parte cu material vegetal mort, în general sub formă de lemn, așternut de frunze, sol sau gunoi de animale, iar aproximativ 10% din cele 4000 de specii estimate sunt semnificative din punct de vedere economic ca dăunători care pot provoca daune structurale grave clădirilor, culturilor sau plantațiilor păduri. Termitele sunt detritivoare majore, în special în regiunile subtropicale și tropicale, iar reciclarea lemnului și a altor materii vegetale este de o importanță ecologică considerabilă. Ca insecte eusoiale, termenii trăiesc în colonii care, la maturitate, sunt de la câteva sute la mai multe milioane de indivizi.
