Abstract	Stable (δ$^{13}$C and δ$^{15}$N) and radio- ($^{14}$C, $^{137}$Cs and $^{210}$Pb) isotopes were determined for termites that have been sampled from a dry evergreen forest in Thailand. A wood-feeding termite, Microcerotermes crassus, was separated from soil-feeders: Termes propinquus, Termes comis and Dicuspiditermes makhamensis by δ$^{13}$C and δ$^{15}$N values. The Termes group in Thailand had less diverse values in δ$^{13}$C and δ$^{15}$N than those in Australia, where the feeding habits of the ‘Termes’ group are more diverse. Other soil-feeding termites produced similar δ$^{13}$C values, but a larger range in δ$^{15}$N values. $^{14}$C-percent modern carbon (pMC) values suggest that the soil-feeding termites used younger carbon than the wood-feeding termites, and this was consistent with the termites from Cameroon, central Africa. Values of δ$^{13}$C and $^{14}$C-pMC indicate that surface soil was used by a soil-feeding termite, D. makhamensis, in making the nest mounds, and deeper soil (10–30 cm) by a fungus-growing termite, Macrotermes carbonarius. $^{210}$Pb and $^{137}$Cs were scarcely incorporated into the termites, although $^{214}$Pb was recovered from the workers. The results suggest that stable- and radioisotopes are useful in the study of detritivorous animals, organic matter decomposition and ecosystem engineering.
