TManual is a tool for manual measurement of structure length development from images, enabling efficient analysis of animal-built structures like termite tunnels.

The paper reconstructs mating behavior of extinct termites from a fossilized pair in amber, showing that behavioral interactions can be inferred despite fossilization distortions.

This study identifies functional differences in tandem running between two ant genera by analyzing recruitment networks and information flow.

The paper shows ancestral sex-role plasticity in termites facilitates the evolution of same-sex sexual behavior through socially-cued movement dimorphism.

This study examines termite body size evolution using fossil and modern data, finding that body size reduction was not consistent across all lineages and that social complexity is linked to size variability, not reduction.

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.

The paper studies movement coordination in termite mating pairs, showing that species-specific pheromone responses and information flow shape stable pairings despite differences in pheromone production.

The paper uses information-theoretic methods to analyze social behavior in ants and termites, revealing distinct communication protocols despite similar behaviors.

This study shows that termite tunneling patterns evolve through parameter tuning of shared behaviors rather than new behaviors, with some species showing convergent patterns despite different behavioral rules.

This paper shows termites adaptively switch between sexually dimorphic and monomorphic movements during mate search based on the expected distance to partners, increasing encounter rates.

This study describes movement patterns of isolated termites from different castes, revealing caste-specific movement modes and biases.
