Arms races between selfish genetic elements and their host defence

B. Qiu, D. Elsner, J. Korb

The paper investigates arms races between transposable elements (TEs) and DNA methylation in termites, finding that methylation reduces TE success and that older TEs are less harmful.

Disentangling the aging network of a termite queen

J. M. Monroy Kuhn, K. Meusemann, J. Korb

This study investigates aging in termite queens by analyzing survival data and transcriptome changes over their lifespan, revealing non-linear senescence and proteostasis network rewiring.

No evidence for immune-gene specific signals of selection in termites

K. Meusemann, J. Korb, M. Schughart, F. Staubach

This study investigates whether pathogen pressure influences selection intensity on immune genes in termites, finding no evidence for immune-gene specific signals of selection.

Ecological specificity of the metagenome in a set of lower termite species supports contribution of the microbiome to adaptation of the host

L. Waidele, J. Korb, C. R. Voolstra, F. Dedeine, F. Staubach

The paper examines the microbiome of lower termites to determine how ecological differences influence microbial gene composition and function.

Termite communities along a disturbance gradient in a West African savanna

J. Schyra, J. Korb

The paper examines how anthropogenic disturbance affects termite species occurrences in a West African savanna, finding that disturbance filters species and favors pest species.
