食木蟑螂Cryptocercus通常被认为是群居的。然而，实地观察提供了证据，证明存在着不同的家庭群体生活在不同的画廊系统。本研究探讨种内行为的相互作用与社会结构。在实验室人工洞穴中观察了家庭成员之间的相互作用。来自不同家庭的个体被带到一起进行实验，并研究了由此产生的警报和战斗行为。隐尾虫对白蚁社会性进化的重要性进行了讨论。
The wood-feeding cockroach Cryptocercus is usually believed to live in aggregations. Field observations, however, gave evidence for the existence of distinct family groups living in different gallery systems. This study investigates intraspecific behavioural interactions with respect to the social structure. The interactions among family members were observed in artificial burrows in the laboratory. Individuals from different families were brought together experimentally and the resulting alarm and fighting behaviour was studied. The importance of Cryptocercus for the evolution of termite sociality is discussed.
