The biogeography of Gabonese savannas: Evidence from termite community richness and composition
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 1505-1518, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The mosaic of savannas that persists in the forest‐dominant Congo Basin is thought to be palaeoclimatic relics, but past biogeographical processes that have formed and maintained these systems are poorly understood. Here, we explored the post‐Pleistocene biogeography of Gabon's savannas using termites as biological indicators to understand

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.

Developmental pathways of Psammotermes hybostoma (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae): old pseudergates make up a new sterile caste. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundErgonomic efficiency is in termites maximized by task partitioning among specialized castes. The isopteran caste systems can be classified as either (i) linear, when tasks are performed by pluripotent immatures (pseudergates), retaining the ...
