Extinct and extant termites reveal the fidelity of behavior fossilization in amber

N. Mizumoto, S. Hellemans, M. S. Engel, T. Bourguignon, A. Bucek

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

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.

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.
