15. Thermal Regulation
Termites show amazing environmental engineering by having evolved great capacity to control temperature within their colonies. They have evolved the capacity to create mounds with intricate ventilation systems that preserve steady inside temperatures in face of outside variations. While some species have evolved behavioral adaptations for transporting eggs and larvae to regions with ideal temperatures, others have constructed mounds with certain orientations to promote solar heating or cooling. These thermal control strategies demonstrate how termites' ability to establish and preserve perfect living conditions in many environments has been made possible by evolution.
