The cohabitation of eusocial insects in nests may involve different strategies that enable stable coexistence. The maintenance of obligatory inquilinism in termites has been attributed to the host species (Constrictotermes sp.) having a low...

Prior research has examined combined forms of behavioral recurrence, showing that relapse is greater when these forms occur together than when each is studied in isolation. However, this enhancement effect has not yet been explored in the j...
Intensity of host nest defense against parasites does not change with different breeding stages [0.03%]
