Although the environment in which termites live is very heterogeneous, most experimental studies on the termite tunnel patterns have been conducted on homogeneous sand substrates. In order to explore how the heterogeneity affects tunnel patterns, I developed an agent-based model to simulate termite tunneling behavior at the individual level. In this model, grid space consists of easy and difficult areas for tunneling. Heterogeneity, H, was defined as the degree of the mixture of the two areas.
