摘要
The paper describes the essential characteristics and the results of a computer simulation program which models the early steps of the construction process of a termite nest. The model is highly parametrized. One shows how small differences in the definition of the interactions programmed in a simulation can induce important changes in the nest structures which are obtained. © 1991 Academic Press Limited.
