Different land uses tend to affect termite feeding groups, abundance and species richness. Termites play a major
role in the ecosystem particularly decomposition process, carbon and nitrogen cycling. Termite diversity differs
between habitats depending on human activities. The main objective of this study was to investigate termite
assemblage under different land use. Termites were sampled with a standardized 100m × 2m straight-belt
transect at three named habitats. The difference in feeding groups was statistically not significant. Though
termite feeding group variations across habitats were caused by human activities but changes were not high
enough to cause significant differences. The results from this study provide a database on termite feeding groups
which will be useful for future research in the district. |
