The effect of wet and dry season on termites foraging was examined in cropland, forest and grassland in Rufiji
district for a period of one year. Termites species richness as well as abundance were sampled using standardized
transect lines. Sampling was carried out on monthly basis. Termite species abundance was significantly different
between the three locations, but species richness was not significantly different. These results reveal that termite
abundance was higher in disturbed habitat due to the removal of vegetation which denies termites food and areas
for nesting. Furthermore movement of termites from lower horizons during the wet season was higher than in the
dry season. |
