Termites that survive will likely continue to thrive in their environment, potentially contributing to their colony's growth and stability. They may adapt to changing conditions, such as food availability or climate shifts. Additionally, survivors can help maintain the ecological role of termites in decomposing organic matter and enriching soil quality. Over time, these resilient individuals may pass on beneficial traits to future generations, enhancing the colony's overall resilience.

If protists didn't live inside the stomachs of termites what would happen to the termite?
The termites would be unable to break down the cellulose in the wood. This would make the termites starve to death because they need the nutients from the cellulose to survive.

What role do termites play in the African savanna?
Termites are some of the smallest members of the savanna biome. They are part of the diet of many creatures, including the aardwolf may consume hundreds of thousands of termites in a day. Other animals, like birds and snakes, find shelter in the tall mounds termites build. Some even move into a mound after the termites have abandoned it.There is some evidence that some species of termites create damp zones in sandy areas to allow plants to survive dry periods. (Link)
How often do termites need water?
Termites require moisture to survive, as they cannot drink water like other insects. They typically obtain the necessary moisture from their food sources, such as wood, and the environment. In general, termites need a humid environment to thrive, and they can survive for several days without direct access to water, but they are more active and productive in moist conditions. Maintaining a consistent level of moisture is crucial for their health and colony success.
If a horse does not survive what will happen?

Is an aardvark herbivore?
Aardvark's aka Anteater, survive almost solely on ants and termites with the only exception being the aardvark cucumber.
Where do termites live in the ground and how do they survive in that environment?
Termites live in underground colonies and survive by building intricate tunnels and chambers to protect themselves from predators and maintain a stable environment. They feed on wood and other plant materials, which they break down with the help of symbiotic microorganisms in their guts. This allows them to extract nutrients from the cellulose in the wood, enabling them to thrive in their underground habitat.

What is collective noun for termites?

What type of wood do termites prefer?
There are a few things that help keep termites alive and in your home - water, cellulose and shelter. Cellulose is what makes up dead wood. Termites "eat" cellulose in order to stay alive, absorbing its nutrients and moisture. When there is no cellulose, they look elsewhere for sources of nutrition. Termites can survive solely on water; however cellulose is the best source of nutrients for their diet. Termites will eat any type of wood, as long as the wood is dead, and most houses have plenty of dead wood for termites to feast on. Stumps, mulch, and other wood debris are a perfect meal for a hungry termite. If termites get into the foundation of a home and into the wooden structure, they can cause severe damage. By: MTS
