摘要
Survival of Reticulitermes hesperus Banks was best in cool temperatures (15.6 to 21.1-degrees-C) and high relative humidity (RH>99%). Even at high humidities, temperatures greater-than-or-equal-to 26.7-degrees-C produced significant mortality in days, Saturation deficit alone was not correlated with survival time. The combination of temperature and relative humidity play an important role in the survival of R. hesperus.
