Abstract
Effects of temperature, humidity,
population biomass, and nest materials
on the respiratory rate of termites
Reticulitermes flaviceps Oshima and
Odontotermes formosanus Shiraki were
studied. The respiratory rate of O.
formosanus was significantly higher
than that of R. flaviceps under four
constant temperatures. In low
temperature, O. formosanus with a
larger population biomass consumed
more oxygen than the same species with
a small population biomass, indicating
that group effects may involve in the
process of respiration. In low humidity,
respiratory rate of O. formosanus would
have a more significant decrease than
that of R. flaviceps. When termites
incubated with their intact nest materials
in an incubation vessel, the respiratory
rates of these two species were rising
significantly. However, screened or
sterilized nest materials had distinct
effects on the respiratory rates of these
termites. In addition, R. flavipes and
Nasutitermes parvonasutus consumed
significantly much mass of Schefflera
octophylla (Lour) Harms than that of
other three woods, Meliosma squamulata
Hance, Castanopsis carlesii var.
sessilis Nakai, and Litsea acuminata
(Blume) Kurata. Reticulitermes flaviceps
consumed significantly much mass
of wood under 100% RH.
