Department of Zoology, Makerere University, P.O. Box 7062, Kampala, Uganda Survival rates of humus-feeding Cubitermes testaceus (Williams) (Isoptera: Termitidae) in relation to organic matter content [Elektronische Daten] [Mary J.N. Okwakol] The survival rates of humus-feeding Cubitermes testaceus (Williams) workers were determined in relation to soil organic matter content. Field collected termites survived for 15.5 days when fed on soil with the highest content of organic matter (5.1%) and for 8.1 days when fed on soil with the lowest content of organic matter (3.2%). Possible reasons for termite workers' survival are discussed.
