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