3. Architectural Engineering Capabilities
One of the most amazing models of animal architecture in nature is the development of termite building capacity.These insects have evolved amazing skills to build intricate constructions with several meters of height, sophisticated ventilation systems, temperature control mechanisms, and specific chambers for various colony activity.Their bodies have developed to generate specialized secretions that, when mixed with saliva and dirt particles, provide a very strong construction material.Their sensitive antennae and body vibration receptors have also helped them to evaluate structural integrity, material characteristics, and environmental conditions.Natural selection has helped this architectural mastery to produce living environments that maximize resource efficiency, control internal temperature, and shield colonies from predators.
