使用复制标准样带方法在刚果（布拉柴维尔）广阔的未受干扰的原始山地雨林中进行采样，结果显示白蚁的物种丰富度非常高，特别是食土的无兵白蚁（Apicotermitinae）。根据横断面估计，该组合与喀麦隆南部类似森林的先前特征相似，但一些物种的更替反映了整个几内亚-刚果区块的伽玛多样性。物种丰富度是之前仅针对土丘种群的研究显示的三到四倍，强调了对既不建造也不生活在土丘中的食土白蚁进行采样的重要性。
Sampling using a replicated standard transect method in an extensive undisturbed primary hill rain forest in Congo (Brazzaville) revealed a very high species richness of termites, especially soil-feeding soldierless termites (Apicotermitinae). The assemblage, as estimated by the transects, resembled that previously characterized in comparable forest in southern Cameroon, but with some species turnover reflecting the gamma diversity of the Guinean-Congolese block as a whole. Species richness was three or four times that shown by a previous study addressed to mound populations alone, emphasizing the importance of sampling soil-feeding termites neither building nor living in mounds.
