Termite diet rather than geographical origin determines the microbiome composition and functional genetic structure of nests from South American and African representatives, as revealed by a multiomics approach

J. J. Gonzalez Plaza, J. Hradecky, J. Sobotnik

This study uses a multiomics approach to show that termite diet, not geography, determines the microbiome composition and functional genetic structure of nests.

Using ultraconserved elements to reconstruct the termite tree of life

S. Hellemans, M. Wang, N. Hasegawa, J. Sobotnik, R. H. Scheffrahn, T. Bourguignon

This paper develops a UCE bait set for termites to reconstruct their phylogeny using poorly preserved samples, showing congruence with transcriptome-based phylogenies.

Historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages (Isoptera: Teletisoptera)

M. Wang, S. Hellemans, J. Sobotnik, J. Arora, A. Bucek, D. Sillam-Dusses, C. Clitheroe, T. Lu, N. Lo, M. Engel, Y. Roisin, T. A. Evans, t. bourguignon

This paper reconstructs the historical biogeography of early diverging termite lineages using genetic data, finding that their distribution resulted from both over-water dispersals and land bridge migrations.

The functional evolution of termite gut microbiota

J. Arora, Y. Kinjo, J. Sobotnik, A. Bucek, C. Clitheroe, P. Stiblik, Y. Roisin, L. Zifcakova, Y. C. Park, K. Y. Kim, D. Sillam-Dusses, V. Herve, N. Lo, G. Tokuda, A. Brune, t. bourguignon

This study investigates the functional evolution of termite gut microbiota by analyzing metagenomic data from 145 termite samples, revealing conserved genetic functions and dietary adaptations.

Neoisoptera repetitively colonised Madagascar after the Middle Miocene climatic optimum

M. Wang, S. Hellemans, A. Bucek, T. Kanao, J. Arora, C. Clitheroe, J.-J. Rafanomezantsoa, B. Fisher, R. Scheffrahn, D. Sillam-Dusses, Y. Roisin, J. Sobotnik, t. bourguignon

This study uses mitochondrial genomes to show that Neoisoptera colonized Madagascar 7-10 times during the Miocene, matching Australia's colonization timing and sharing similar taxonomic composition.

Transoceanic voyages of drywood termites (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) inferred from extant and extinct species

A. Bucek, M. Wang, J. Sobotnik, D. Sillam-Dusses, N. Mizumoto, P. Stiblik, C. Clitheroe, T. Lu, J. J. Gonzalez Plaza, A. Mohagan, J. J. Rafanomezantsoa, B. Fisher, M. Engel, Y. Roisin, T. Evans, , T. Bourguignon

This study uses phylogenetic analysis to infer the transoceanic dispersal history and foraging evolution of Kalotermitidae termites, finding that dispersal and human activity shaped their global distribution.
