Tiputini Termites

Along with all those billions of ants I collected from Tiputini Biodiversity Station, I also collected some termites.  Why?  To see if there was a correlation between ant diversity and termite diversity.  Ants and termites have a variety of significant relationships with each other from predatory to mutualistic, and I wanted to see if one could influence the other.  What do you think?

Below is a list of the termite species collected during ant collections from Tiputini.  Termite identifications were made by Reginaldo Constantino.
