Mechanism of trail following by the arboreal termite Nasutitermes corniger (Isoptera: Termitidae).

In this study, we investigated the mechanisms used by the arboreal termite Nasutitermes corniger (Motschulsky, 1855) to follow trails from the nest to sources of food. A plate containing one of seven trail types was used to connect an artificial nest of N. corniger with an artificial foraging arena.
