The effects of dietary nitrogen on symbiotic nitrogen fixation in the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Results indicated that nitrogen fixation rates are plastic within R. flavipes and they are negatively correlated with dietary nitrogen, as hypothesized, and a follow-up study was conducted to investigate three assumptions associated with the initial experiment.
