Abstract

Tesis in bertumpu pada aspek ekologi dan perilaku anai-anai Microcerotermes crassus Snyder. Pelbagai substrat telah diuji untuk memastikan kemandirian yang tertinggi bagi anai-anai ini di dalam makmal dan pasir terbukti sebagai substrat yang sangat sesuai. Di dalam pasir, kemandirian anai-anai adalah tinggi dan aktiviti menerowong boleh dilihat dengan jelas. Aktiviti pemakanan secara relatifnya adalah serupa bagi semua substrat yang diuji. This thesis focuses on the ecological and behavioural aspects of Microcerotermes crassus Snyder. Different substrates were tested to ensure the highest survival of these termites under laboratory conditions and sand proved to be very suitable. In sand, survival of termites was high and tunnelling activities can be observed clearly.
