Reticulitermes santonensis is a subterranean termite that invades urban areas in France and elsewhere where it causes damage to human-built structures.

The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, is an invasive species that originated in China and has been introduced to Hawaii and the U.S. mainland.

Perhaps most devastating is the spread of formosan subterranean termites.

Subterranean termites have unusual plasticity in their breeding systems.

In the spring of 1994, for example, eastern subterranean termites were found feeding under the feet of the Statue of Liberty.

We hypothesize that the diverse and flexible breeding systems found in subterranean termites pre-adapt them to invade new or marginal habitats.

Thus, the conditional use of sexual and asexual reproduction to produce members of different castes may be widespread within Reticulitermes and possibly other subterranean termites.
