From an evolutionary perspective, it is inferred that termites evolved to build tunneling patterns in a way that optimizes search and transport efficiency. So far, there have been many studies on search efficiency, but few studies on transport efficiency due to the difficulty of direct observation under the field condition. To overcome the difficulty, we developed an individual-based model to simulate the transport process.
