Termite-induced heterogeneity in African savanna vegetation: mechanisms and patterns (2010, background): “Apart from soil-feeding species, most termites (Appendix S2) can potentially induce vegetation heterogeneity through their feeding on trees (Gould et al. 1993), grasses (Wood & Sands 1978; Mitchell 2002) and litter (Lepage 1981).”
Economic and ecological importance of termites: A global review (2018, background): “Maximum damage to crops caused by termites is sustained in eastern Africa, where yield losses in some cases can reach 100% (Mitchell 2002).”
Integrating Ethno-Ecological and Scientific Knowledge of Termites for Sustainable Termite Management and Human Welfare in Africa (2009, background): “…exact number of pest species is not known, it is estimated that less than 20% of members of the family Termitidae are serious pests (Pomeroy et al. 1World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), 2Makerere University, 3University of Zambia, 4Nikoola Institutional Development Associates 1991, Mitchell 2002).”
