A simulation study of subterranean termites' territory formation

open access: yesEcological Informatics, 2009
Abstract The process through which the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, establishes territory was simulated using a lattice model in order to understand how such territories are formed from their seeds-founding pairs that fall to the ground every year.
