Termites on the Savanna

 

Sometimes we are interested in the way that organisms are distributed across a particular habitat. Corina Tarnita’s research on the spacing of termite mounds in savanna ecosystems is one example. Watch the video, and then address the following:

  • What do you think is the most interesting aspect of Tarnitas research?
  • Discuss how the termite mounds benefit other organisms on the savanna.
