The Primary Study on the Characters of Inter Species Competition and Conspecifies Tolerance between Termites
The termites, obtained from the subterranean nests of the forest,was placed in the same petri dish in a certain ratio for observing their tolerance between them.It was found that they fought fiercely with other separate colonies. In the competition,it could be indicated by following formulation:C. changtaiensisM.barneyiOdontotermes fontanellusReticulitermes longipensis. As far as the same species from the different subterranean nests were concerned,M. barneyi showed higher compatibility.The combination of nests of M.barneyi could become the 3rd natural succession regulation for prolonging the life of the population and improving development of colony.
