Understanding climate literacy research using scientometrics analysis.

Climate literacy, critical for understanding both the individual's impact on climate and the consequential effects on society and the biosphere, is comprehensively examined in this study through scientometric analysis. Spanning research from 1981 to 2024 and utilizing the Web of Science database, this study maps the evolution of publication trends, pinpoints central themes, and identifies pivotal publications within the domain. Leveraging advanced visualization tools like CiteSpace, the research employs dual-map overlays and document co-citation analysis to uncover the intricate web of interconnections among scholarly works.

Septicaemia of subterranean termites caused by disturbance of bacteria isolated from termite gut and its foraging pathways.

Microbial pathogens continue to attract a great deal of attention to manage the termite population. Every bacterium has its own mode of action and in fact, the mechanisms used by bacteria to attack termites remain elusive at the moment. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility of subterranean termites to opportunistic pathogens using culturable aerobic bacteria isolated from the termite gut and its foraging pathways.

How to develop a comprehensive Mangrove Quality Index?

Currently, the available indices to measure mangrove health are not comprehensive. An integrative ecological-socio economic index could give a better picture of the mangrove ecosystem health. This method explored all key biological, hydrological, ecological and socio-economic variables to form a comprehensive mangrove quality index.
