Soldier Production Strategy in Lower Termites: From Young Instars or Old Instars? [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2002 We constructed a mathematical model to explain from which instars soldiers should be produced to maximize the growth rate of a termite colony. The model is based on the demography of the lower termite's colony: many of them feed inside the nest. The model predicts the following: (1) When the colony is young (it still has enough food and needs a high ...
