SUMMARY:

Foraging is often understood as a biological search process where the objects being searched for can be considered target sites. We can quantitatively describe the efficiency of locating randomly scattered target sites using random walk ideas. The movement patterns generated by these random walks in different geometries will be analyzed directly through filming, which will be converted to generate data necessary for analysis through statistical physics, in a typical trajectory using a random walker model, from the movement of a worker termite. Movement is the main mechanism by which animals interact with the environment, these movements generate very complex spatio-temporal patterns, so we will use termites of the genus Cornitermes spp., for reasons of practicality and availability, also considering that they are social insects, which live organized in groups, interacting with each other, in a harmonious ecological relationship called society. The results indicate that the tested termites exhibit superdiffusion and Lévy flights in all studied geometries, even in the absence of external stimuli or cues.
