Niche Differentiation between Two Sympatric <i>Cubitermes</i> Species (Isoptera, Termitidae, Cubitermitinae) Revealed by Stable C and N Isotopes

Many African termite species are true soil-feeders: how can they coexist, sometimes with high densities? How do they separate their trophic niches? Preliminary results suggest that two coexisting <i>Cubitermes</i> species forage in different soil layers, and stable C and N isotopes show...
