The use of tympanic arena as an alternative for behavioral vibroacoustic essays in termites (Blattodea: Isoptera).
In termites, substrate-borne vibrations play an important role in communication among nestmates.The adaptive significance of such an ability has led to an ever-increasing number of studies aimed at improving knowledge on vibroacoustic communication in these insects.Such studies are commonly carried out in laboratory arenas consisting of Petri dishe
