Abstract
Out of 150 toilet paper rolls used in the test plot (600 m2), 131 rolls (87.3%) were attacked by Microcerotermes; 61 rolls being attacked by this species alone throughout the whole experimental period, and 70 rolls with other species. Similarly, 75 rolls (50%) were attacked by Microtermes, of which 12 rolls only were attacked by this species alone. Mixed cultures of termites were observed on 71 rolls: 44 rolls contained 2 species of termites, 26 rolls contained 3 species, and a single roll contained 4 species. To delineate the colony boundaries of each species, early attaked rolls were considered colony foci, and overlapping between species was neglected. It was neglected. It was possible to detect the presence of 16 1/2 colonies for Microcerotermes in the test plot (9 complete and 15 partial colonies), and same number of colonies for Microtermes (11 complete and 11 partial colonies). The estimated number of colonies per donum being 27.5 for each species. Colonies of the former species occupied 131 rolls distributed in 524 m2, with an average foraging area of 31.8 m2/colony. Those of the latter species occupied 75 rolls distributed in 300 m2, with an average foraging area of 18.2 m2/colony. Based on BOUDINE'S ratio, subsurface density: surface density = 114:1, the mean number of individuals per colony is expected to be approximately 19000 in Microcerotermes and 50000 in Microtermes.
