Most termites use several different stable resources simultaneously using chemical mass recruitment systems to exploit new food sources. In the light of the decision-making system for recruitment (Democratic and systems) described for ant species, this work studied the mass-recruitment system of the arboreal carton nest building termites N. ephratae and N. comiger. Our results show that these two species display recruiting dynamics that differ markedly from what was defined as Democratic decision making, conforming most closely to the ant's Autocratic system, where scouts control the absolute amount of pheromone deposited on a trail according to the quantity and quality of the food source. These termites, however, seem to have additional features, making the regulation of the dynamics of the recruitment process much more complex than that described for ants. This work represents the first observations on the decision-making system used by termite societies in chemical mass recruitment to a new food source.
