Termite mound architecture regulates nest temperature and correlates with species identities of symbiotic fungi
BACKGROUND: Large and complex mounds built by termites of the genus Macrotermes characterize many dry African landscapes, including the savannas, bushlands, and dry forests of the Tsavo Ecosystem in southern Kenya. The termites live in obligate symbiosis with filamentous fungi of the genus Termitomy...
