Do epigeal termite mounds increase the diversity of plant habitats in a tropical rain forest in peninsular Malaysia? [PDF]
, 2011 The extent to which environmental heterogeneity can account for tree species coexistence in diverse ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests, is hotly debated, although the importance of spatial variability in contributing to species co-existence is well

Termites in the woodwork [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2007 Termites eat and digest wood, but how do they do it? Combining advanced genomics and proteomics techniques, researchers have now shown that microbes found in the termites' hindguts possess just the right tools. Most animals, from insects to mammals, carry complex communities of microbes in their digestive tracts.

The coupling effects of pyrodiversity and land use on termite assemblages in semi-arid savanna
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Despite the importance of termites in the structure and function of savanna ecosystems, long-term studies that examine the effects of several disturbance factors on termite communities are limited constraining our understanding of determinants of termite

Behavioural Processes, 2023 Abstract It is generally believed that termites can’t learn and are not “intelligent”. This study aimed to test whether termites could have any form of memory. A Y-shaped test device with one release chamber and two identical test chambers was designed and constructed by 3D printing.
