The temperature and carbon diox-
ide level (CO2) in the air circulating
in the nest
A 30oC/86o F CO2 -2.7%
B 25o C/77o F CO2 -2.7%
C 24oC/75o F CO2 -0.8%
Because of the perfectly functioning air-conditioning system within the nest,
its internal temperature varies by only half a degree throughout the year. The
temperature of the air in the horizontal channels is lowered, and the air is then
transported to a deep cellar; rising hot air takes its place.
It's irrefutable that termites can never acquire by themselves or by
chance much less by training, sciences that rely on intelligence, aware-
ness and a broad education. But nevertheless, termites can apply very
intelligent methods to find solutions—not only to ordinary problems
but also to ones that arise unexpectedly.
