Abstract
Soldiers of two termite species.Reticulitermes speratus andCoptotermes formosanus, showed aggressive behavior toward workers of other species. Soldiers always exhibited aggressive behavior to a conspecific worker treated with heterospecific cuticular hydrocarbons. A bioassay using live workers to test contact chemical cues was developed.Entities:
