Human Introduction

Reticulitermes , Heterotermes and Coptotermes form a small termite clade with partly overlapping distributions. Although native species occur across all continents, the factors influencing their distribution are poorly known. Here, we reconstructed the historical biogeography of these termites using mitochondrial genomes of species collected on six continents. Our analyses showed that Reticulitermes split from Heterotermes + Coptotermes at 59.5 Ma (49.9–69.5 Ma 95% CI), yet the oldest split within Reticulitermes (Eurasia and North America) is 16.1 Ma (13.4–19.5 Ma) and the oldest split within Heterotermes + Coptotermes is 36.0 Ma (33.9–40.5 Ma). We detected 14 disjunctions between biogeographical realms, all of which occurred within the last 34 Ma, not only after the break-up of Pangaea, but also with the continents in similar to current positions. Land dispersal over land bridges explained four disjunctions, oceanic dispersal by wood rafting explained eight disjunctions, and human introduction was the source of two recent disjunctions. These wood-eating termites, therefore, appear to have acquired their modern worldwide distribution through multiple dispersal processes, with oceanic dispersal and human introduction favoured by the ecological traits of nesting in wood and producing replacement reproductives.

Mobile logistics (m-logistics) may be seen as an enabler for efficient and effective mobile commerce (m-commerce). Recent developments in mobile computing and communication standards and technologies allow more flexible operations and real-time monitoring in a supply chain. This chapter explores and examines the current status of m-logistics in North America, Europe and Asia (mainly China, South Korea and Japan). The chapter focuses on global m-logistics as an essential function and key factor in efficient and effective global m-commerce. Diffusion and adoption models as well as factors influencing the diffusion and adoption of standards and technologies in m-logistics are discussed. Our comparative study shows that all of the investigated regions have begun to adopt next-generation mobile logistics standards and technologies.
