A Reproductives Excluder for Subterranean Termites in Laboratory Experiments [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2019
Abstract As a social insect, termites have different castes and division of labor in a colony. Investigating the social behavior of subterranean termites is a challenge due to the cryptic nature and large colony size. Planar arenas are commonly used to study these termites under laboratory conditions, and have provided several advantages.
