Ruptitermes arboreus (Emerson) is a litter-feeder soldierless termite that builds arboreal cartonated nests. In this paper, we describe and illustrate nests of R. arboreus, while also describing fully clayish nest built upon the trunk fallen tree. Additionally, provided physical populational parameters for two We all castes except alates record termitophilous species occurring inside

construction of an overarching chronological framework for relating Archaic social and technological developments, as has been attempted, for example, for the Woodland and Mississippian periods (e.g., Emerson and Lewis 1991; Emerson et al. 2000; Farnsworth and Emerson 1986). The nature of the available archaeological data and the configuration of researchers’ study areas, however, are somewhat ...

The current investigation is concerned primarily with the relation between two distinct phenotypes, light variegated and medium variegated, both of which are unstable, The results obtained, however, bear directly on...
