Confirmation of soil‐feeding termites (Isoptera; Termitidae; Termitinae) in Australia using stable isotope ratios [PDF]
1. Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope ratios of termites (Isoptera) were examined in Darwin, northern Australia. It is suggested that the stable isotope technique, together with phylogenetics, is a useful tool to understand the evolution of functional groups in detritivores. 2.

Evolution of obligate asexuality in termites with mixed‐sex societies
The evolution of obligate asexuality is thought to be prevented in animals whose males play crucial roles beyond the contribution of gametes. While obligate asexuality had not until recently been observed in termites whose colonies commonly comprise both male and female reproductives, workers, and soldiers, all‐female asexual populations of the termite
