【摘要】 综述近年来国内外白蚁兵蚁防卫化合物 (额腺分泌物 )的研究进展 ,重点介绍鼻白蚁科种 (长鼻白蚁属、棒鼻白蚁属、家白蚁属、散白蚁属 )兵蚁防卫化合物的成分及其作用。它们多属碳氢化合物组成的萜类及其醇、酮等 ,如散白蚁属主要组分是牛儿沉香醇 ,家白蚁属是 2 2 —2 7碳烷烃溶于水样粘多糖中 ,长鼻白蚁属及棒鼻白蚁属为乙烯酮类 ,它们多数为接触毒性化合物 ,具触杀或粘住外敌的作用。最后讨论研究兵蚁防卫化合物的实际意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 This paper review the progress of isolating soldier’s defensive compounds which come from the frontal gland, with emphasis on that of Rhinotermitidae. The soldier’s defensive compounds are mostly hydrocarbons such as Reticulitermes which is geranyl linalool, others are vinyl ketones, coptotermes are mucopolysachatides. All of these chemicals are contact poisons or sticky to enemies. A discussion about the practical significance of these chemicals are given.更多还原
