Dataset for statistical analysis of Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Blattodea: Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) termites behavioural patterns
<p>This statistical analysis corresponds to the behavioral perspective of a large experiment in which <em>Constrictotermes cyphergaster</em> (Blattodea: Isoptera: Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) termite groups were submitted to four different alarm stimuli. The aim of the work was to known the effect, at the individual scale, of the intensity of alarm stimuli in the emergence of order/disorder in group responses of social groups.</p> <p>The “read-me” file contains a detailed description of each data table used for the analysis. In the data tables, columns correspond to variables and rows to observations. Explanation of variables is on the headers of each data table.</p>

An Experimental Test of Lanchester's Models of Combat in the Neotropical Termite Nasutitermes corniger (Blattodea: Termitidae)
<p><span>Lanchester's models of combat have been invoked to explain the mechanics of group fighting in social animals. Specifically, Lanchester's square law posits that the fighting ability of the group is proportional to the square of the number of combatants. Although used to explain a variety of ecological phenomena, the models have not been thoroughly tested. We tested the Lanchester models using group battles between colonies of the termite <em>Nasutitermes corniger</em>. Our main goals were to determine if mortality rates fit the Lanchester models, and if so, whether the behavioural mechanisms underlying a group's success match those used in deriving the model. We initiated battles between pairs of colonies with different ratios of fighters and recorded deaths over time. We found that the numerically larger army has an advantage, but that the advantage is not as pronounced as predicted by Lanchester's square law. We also video-recorded battles to analyse individual behaviour, which did not support the mechanisms invoked by Lanchester. Instead, the killing power of an individual is increased by the presence of nestmates, giving the larger group a disproportionate advantage. Although the behavioural mechanisms leading to the advantage may differ, our results still support some of the proposed ecological phenomena.</span></p>

Fig. 24 in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 24. Comparison of the most discriminating variables and indices between the soldiers of the various valve patterns: bt = bilobatus, bd = bilobatodes, mu = muneris, fu = fungifaber, fi = finitimus, sa = sankurensis, oc = oculatus, ob = oblectatus and su = sulcifrons. All the individuals studied are plotted in these graphs. A. The soldiers head length distinguishes a group (four patterns) of larger species from a group (five patterns) of smaller species. B. The soldier's cephalic elongation index shows two patterns with elongated heads. C. The soldier's gnatho-cephalic index shows two patterns with relatively short mandibles and one with long mandibles (the outlier point in the muneris pattern is due to C. falcifer). D. The soldier's valve bilaterality index distinguishes the oculatus valve pattern from almost all the other patterns.
Fig. 22 in Species groups in the genus Cubitermes (Isoptera: Termitidae) defined on the basis of enteric valve morphology
Fig. 22. Result of principal component analyses; each ellipse joins the samples from the same valve pattern: bd = bilobatodes, bt = bilobatus, fi = finitimus, fu = fungifaber, mu = muneris, ob = oblectatus, oc = oculatus, sa = sankurensis and su = sulcifrons. A. For the workers, based on all variables and indices of their morphology (excluding those concerning their valves) (n = 421); B. For the workers, based only on the variables and indices concerning their valves (n = 347), the "bd" label is partly hidden behind the "fi" label.

All the individuals studied are plotted in these graphs. A. The head width across the eyes shows a pattern with relatively low values and four patterns with high values but with high superimpositions. B. The imagines' compound eye bulging shows three patterns with low values in comparison with the other patterns but here also with some superimpositions. C. The imagines' compound eye prominence index shows five patterns with low values, two patterns with high values and two patterns crossing almost the entire range. D. The left apico-marginal index shows one pattern with low values and one pattern with high values.
