Research Abstract

We focused on tapping (head bumping) and tremulation (especially back and forth movement) behaviors in four species of termites. These were analyzed using a high-speed video camera, to compare the differences among species. Tremulation and tapping behaviors are found to be species-specific. A termite was disturbed by the vibrational pattern of the other termite, which were synthesized with a function generator.
