Abstract
AbstractThree cracking clay soils (a brown clay, a grey clay, and a black earth) in northeastern Queensland were examined for the presence of termites. Some mounds of Nasutitermes longipennis (Hill) were found in disturbed situations. On two of the soils large numbers of termites, mostly Amitermes obtusidens Mjöberg with fewer numbers of Microcerotermes serratus (Froggatt), were found in cattle dung pads and in the underlying soil. Dung beetles, however, appear to have prevented termite utilisation of the cattle dung on the third soil.
