Termite behaviour and polyethisms during colony defence
Homolka, Petr ; Šobotník, Jan (advisor) ; Straka, Jakub (referee)
My bachelor thesis deals with the various defensive adaptations of termites, not only in specialized caste of defenders, the soldiers, but also in members of other castes. Termites are the eldest group of eusocial insects on the planet and their defence systems are indeed impressive. I tried to describe the defensive strategies in general, morphological, anatomical and behavioral adaptations of termites to defence, and also major termites enemies. At the end I also sum up the knowledge on polyethism, which should be the aim of my future thesis.
