EASTERN SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE (ISOPTERA: RHINOTERMITIDAE) FORAGING TERRITORIES AND POPULATIONS IN TORONTO
Keyword(s):
AbstractA mark–release–recapture study was conducted with dye-marked eastern subterranean termites, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), at two sites in metropolitan Toronto. Interconnected termite galleries were found to extend up to 79 m and to cover areas of 266 and 1091 m2. Colony foraging populations at the two sites were estimated at 2.1 and 3.2 million termites. These foraging distances and population estimates exceed those reported for R. flavipes in other regions.
