In 2005, Nan-Yao Su, Ph.D., at the University of Florida led a study that introduced a novel experimental setup for examining the behavior of colony-level numbers of Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus). This setup was the first to simulate, in the lab, long-distance foraging for tunneling termites, using tubing and planar arenas so that all termites could be observed at all time. If a termite is placed at one end of the arena network, it can be found on the other end a few days later. This protocol allowed Su (and researchers to follow) to test the effect of different pesticides on termites over realistically long foraging distances.
