Phylogeography of Nasutitermes ephratae (Termitidae: Nasutitermitinae) in neotropical region [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The neotropical region ranks third in the number of termites and includes five different families. Of these, Termitidae is the most diverse and includes the species Nasutitermes ephratae, which is widespread in the neotropics. To date, only one study has

A protocol to evaluate the taxonomic health of Neotropical species of Nasutitermes (Termitidae, Nasutitermitinae) [PDF]
ZooKeysHerein a protocol is proposed to summarize the taxonomic situation for species, using the Neotropical Nasutitermes Dudley (Nasutitermitinae) as a test. The objective of this protocol is to allow comparisons between the available taxonomic information for

Neoisoptera repeatedly colonised Madagascar after the Middle Miocene climatic optimum
Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 Madagascar is home to many endemic plant and animal species owing to its ancient isolation from other landmasses. This unique fauna includes several lineages of termites, a group of insects known for their key role in organic matter decomposition in many terrestrial ecosystems. How and when termites colonised Madagascar remains unknown.

Rapid diversification of the Australian Amitermes group during late Cenozoic climate change
Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022 Late Cenozoic climate change led to the progressive aridification of Australia over the past 15 million years. This gradual biome turnover fundamentally changed Australia's ecosystems, opening new niches and prompting diversification of plants and animals.

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 9, Page 2145-2161, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Past evolutionary adaptations to Australia's aridification can help us to understand the potential responses of species in the face of global climate change. Here, we focus on the Australian‐endemic genus Drepanotermes, also known as Australian harvester termites, which are mainly found in semiarid and arid regions of Australia.
