Confirmation of soil‐feeding termites (Isoptera; Termitidae; Termitinae) in Australia using stable isotope ratios [PDF]

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, 1998
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

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 219-231, October 2024.
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
