Offspring Dependency Is Not Reflected in the Social Immunity of Three Burying Beetle Species

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 625-638, July 2026.
Nicrophorus pustulatus, Nicrophorus vespilloides, and Nicrophorus orbicollis are three burying beetle species that differ both in their ecology and in the dependency of their offspring on parental care. This gradient of offspring dependency might be reflected in the parents' social immunity capabilities and/or investment.

Termitomyces/Termite Interactions

open access: yes, 2005
The efficiency of degradation of lignocellulose by fungus-growing termites is largely attributed to their symbiotic Termitomyces. These fungi provide a variety of functions that termites do not possess. Recently, the application of new technologies and molecular methods has greatly improved our knowledge of lignin degradation by both Macrotermitinae ...
