Abstract
Three field colonies of the Thai subterranean termite Coptotermes gest roi Wasmann in an urban area of Bangkok, Thailand, were selected to es timate the foraging populations, using the triple mark-recapture proce dure. The foraging populations ranged from 1.13 to 2.75 X 10(6) per co lony. Intraspecific variation in foraging populations among the coloni es might be caused by the age of colonies, environmental conditions, a nd seasons.
