Ítem Respuesta funcional de Heterotermes tenuis Hagen (insecta: Blattaria: Isoptera) en forestaciones de la orinoquía colombianaSalazar Salazar, Luis Ricardo; Pinzón Florián, Olga PatriciaThe xylophagous species Heterotermes tenuis is widely distributed in the Colombian East plains, and the frequency of its colonies increases in Pinus caribaea forestations. The functional response of the size of the functional morphological traits (FMT) associated with feeding and colony defense was compared among four plantation ages and gallery forest relicts. Comparisons among forest relicts and plantations were made using non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis, PERMANOVA, and multinomial models. A more significant effect of the type of land use than the plantation ages was observed in the larger size of the workers, while the results were not conclusive in the soldier caste. The results suggested homogenization of the FMT of the worker caste of H. tenuis in pine plantations, most likely but not only related to an increase in the food supply of softwoods of P. caribaea
