Publisher's Synopsis
Up to 1965, termite literature was covered by T.E. Synder's bibliographies produced by the Smithsoniam Institution but since his death these have ceased and there has been no one source of information for termitologists. This has now been remedied by Termite Abstracts, which begun publication in 1980. The present book links the missing years 1966 - 1978, and contains 3 165 entries covering termite biology, control, distribution and taxonomy. The references are annotated and abstracted to provide as complete a source of information as possible for scientists working overseas, without access to good libraries. Termites cause such damage to crops that the book will not only be of use to specialistentomologists, but also crop protection and forestry specialists, plant quarantine inspectors and building research technologists.
