說明

This dataset includes termite (Blattodea) occurrences sampled during two periods in Guadeloupe (2023) and in Costa Rica (2025) across urban and forest environments. Sampling was conducted by drawing two parallel transects (each made of 25 quadrats) separated by around 50 m in each site, itself part of a pair (urban-forest site) and each region had 5 pairs.

地理涵蓋範圍

For both regions, five pairs (urban-forest) were selected all around, encompassing various types of environments (tropical and premontane rainforest, dry coastal forest). In Guadeloupe, pairs from Basse-Terre were located in Petit-Bourg, Sainte-Rose and Baie-Mahault while pairs from Grande-Terre were located in Le Moule and Sainte-Anne. In Costa-Rica, pairs were located in counties of Pococí, San Carlos, Pérez Zeledón, Siquirres and Talamanca.

取樣方法

Within each site (urban or forest), we drew two parallel transects separated by around 50 m following Jones & Eggleton (2000)’s protocol but slightly modified as recommended by Roisin & Leponce ( 2004). The transects were positioned using a compass, a GPS (Garmin GPSMAP® 67) and a decameter. Each transect had 25 quadrats (5 m2), each separated by 10 m center from center. Each quadrat was studied for around 30 min by two people looking at dead wood, nests, litters, trunks and six soil squares of 12 × 12 × 10. About a dozen individuals (soldiers and workers) from each found colony was then conserved in 100% ethanol for morphological and molecular analyses and/or in 80% ethanol for anatomical analyses. In total, 1000 quadrats were sampled over 2 years, or in other terms 500 quadrats per region (2 regions), or 100 quadrats per pair (10 pairs), or 50 quadrats per site (20 sites). Identification : Termites were first classified based on the workers and soldiers’ morphology before their genus was identified using Constantino (2002)’s key and a dissecting microscope (Leica MZ06). Different keys were then used to identify the species using the soldiers, depending on the genus and location. Soldierless species were identified using workers’ enteric valve through a microscope (Leitz LaborLux S) by comparing them to photographs from (Bourguignon, 2010; Bourguignon et al., 2013, 2016) and morphospecies from our lab. More difficult or unknown species were identified using sequencing (barcoding).

研究範圍 The study took place in two different regions: an island in the West Indies (Guadeloupe) and a continental country in Central America (Costa Rica). Both samplings occurred during the dry season: in Guadeloupe from April to June 2023 and in Costa Rica from January to March 2025. Each region had 10 different sites (5 urban and 5 forest sites) with 5 different pairs (subregion). For each pair, the urban site was always distanced by 4.10 to 11.00 km from the forest site. Urban areas were selected based on availabilities of cities, closeness to forest patches and population similarities ranging roughly from 17,000 to 31,000 inhabitants for Guadeloupe and between 23,000 and 66,000 inhabitants for Costa Rica (City Populations, 2025). Urban sites were tiny city forests or wastelands with trees surrounded by houses, industrial areas, roads or any impermeable surfaces. For the forest sites, we tried to take the largest and most conserved fragments most of the time, although a few forest sites were small (but always > 1 km2) as no better options were found. For the forest sites, the sampling was always done at least 200 m away from the forest edge to avoid any edge effects (Duquesne et al., unpublished) while the transects in urban areas were usually done 5 m away from the edge.
