A Comparison of Tunnel Geometry between the Formosan Subterranean Termite and Asian Subterranean Termite (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae).

Because tunnels of C. gestroi were less abundant and they tend to travel straight at distance, they may have bypassed survey stakes or in-ground monitoring stations that are sparsely distributed in soil. The tunnel geometry of C. gestroi may explain why none of these in-ground monitoring devices has been intercepted by this species in southeastern Florida. This article is protected by copyright.
