Rapid diversification of the Australian Amitermes group during late Cenozoic climate change

open access: yesEcography, 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.

Historical and future climate change fosters expansion of Australian harvester termites, Drepanotermes

open access: yesEvolution, 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.

Multipartite symbioses in fungus‐growing termites (Blattodea: Termitidae, Macrotermitinae) for the degradation of lignocellulose

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 1512-1529, December 2021., 2021
Outline of the symbiotic roles of each component in the symbiotic system of fungus‐growing termites for degradation of lignocellulose. Abstract Fungus‐growing termites are among the most successful herbivorous animals and improve crop productivity and soil fertility. A range of symbiotic organisms can be found inside their nests.

Record of an Ectoparasitic Fungus on Eggs of the Neotropical Termite Nasutitermes corniger (Blattaria, Isoptera, Termitidae)

open access: yesSociobiology, 2023
Insects and fungi are abundant in many environments and often interact. However, little information exists on the fungal infestation of insect eggs. Here, we report an entomogenous fungus similar to Hormiscioideus filamentosus (Blackweel & Kimbrough ...

Does the distance between the nest and the food source affect the foraging behavior of Nasutitermes corniger (Termitidae)?

open access: yesBioscience Journal, 2023
Research on food finding by pest termites can be used to inform the development of techniques to control their population; however, there is a paucity of information available on the foraging behavior of Nasutitermes corniger, an urban pest in South ...
