The ecology of Namibian fairy circles and the potential role of sand termites (Psammotermes allocerus Silvestri) in their origin
Regularly-dispersed patterning in the landscape occurs globally, both in the form of vegetated patches or gaps of bare earth within a vegetated matrix. Most theories link these periodic patterns to various biotic factors including selective grazing, allelopathy, nests of social insects, and competit...
