Termite's potential in solid waste management in Himachal Pradesh: A mini review.
Sharma R, Kaur R, Rana N, Poonia A, Rana DC, Attri S. Sharma R, et al. Waste Manag Res. 2021 Apr;39(4):546-554. doi: 10.1177/0734242X20957394. Epub 2020 Sep 16. Waste Manag Res. 2021. PMID: 32938331 Review.
A few species of insects are capable of digesting lignin and cellulose. Of these, termites are the most numerous and play a decisive role as scavengers. Microflora which inhabit the termites' gut contribute to their waste degrading potential. ...Although studies in …

Termite's Twisted Mandible Presents Fast, Powerful, and Precise Strikes.
Kuan KC, Chiu CI, Shih MC, Chi KJ, Li HF. Kuan KC, et al. Sci Rep. 2020 Jun 11;10(1):9462. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-66294-1. Sci Rep. 2020. PMID: 32528013 Free PMC article.
The asymmetric mandibles of termites are hypothetically more efficient, rapid, and powerful than the symmetric mandibles of snap-jaw ants or termites. We investigated the velocity, force, precision, and defensive performance of the asymmetric mandibular snaps of a …

Termites can learn.
Ding YE, Li Z. Ding YE, et al. Behav Processes. 2024 Apr;217:105012. doi: 10.1016/j.beproc.2024.105012. Epub 2024 Mar 15. Behav Processes. 2024. PMID: 38493970 Free article.
It is generally believed that termites can't learn and are not "intelligent". This study aimed to test whether termites could have any form of memory. ...Thus, it is concluded that damp wood termites are capable of learning and forming "fear memory", indicati …

Termite-engineered microbial communities of termite nest structures: a new dimension to the extended phenotype.
Li H, Greening C. Li H, et al. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 2022 Nov 2;46(6):fuac034. doi: 10.1093/femsre/fuac034. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 2022. PMID: 35790132 Free PMC article. Review.
Such engineered structures provide termites with stable, protected habitats, and nutritious food sources, respectively. Recent studies have suggested that these termite-engineered structures harbour Actinobacteria-dominated microbial communities. ...These engineered …

Cooperation and conflict in termite societies.
Korb J. Korb J. Curr Opin Insect Sci. 2025 Oct;71:101401. doi: 10.1016/j.cois.2025.101401. Epub 2025 Jun 13. Curr Opin Insect Sci. 2025. PMID: 40518043 Free article. Review.
Termites are social cockroaches that evolved eusociality independently from social Hymenoptera (ants, bees, and wasps). Thus, they are diploid organisms, and this has consequences for the occurrence of conflict in termites. Here, I outline the potential for conflict …

Termite digestomes as a potential source of symbiotic microbiota for lignocelluloses degradation: a review.
Wong LJ, H'ng PS, Wong SY, Lee SH, Lum WC, Chai EW, Wong WZ, Chin KL. Wong LJ, et al. Pak J Biol Sci. 2014 Aug;17(8):956-63. doi: 10.3923/pjbs.2014.956.963. Pak J Biol Sci. 2014. PMID: 26031014 Review.
Different of digestive system between lower and higher termites which lower termites dependent on their dual decomposing system, consisting of termite's own cellulases and gut's protists. Higher termites decompose cellulose using their own enzym …

Termite dispersal is influenced by their diet.
Hellemans S, Šobotník J, Lepoint G, Mihaljevič M, Roisin Y, Bourguignon T. Hellemans S, et al. Proc Biol Sci. 2022 May 25;289(1975):20220246. doi: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0246. Epub 2022 May 25. Proc Biol Sci. 2022. PMID: 35611530 Free PMC article.
Termites feed on vegetal matter at various stages of decomposition. Lineages of wood- and soil-feeding termites are distributed across terrestrial ecosystems located between 45N and 45S of latitude, a distribution they acquired through many transoceanic dispersal ev …

The functional evolution of termite gut microbiota.
Arora J, Kinjo Y, Šobotník J, Buček A, Clitheroe C, Stiblik P, Roisin Y, Žifčáková L, Park YC, Kim KY, Sillam-Dussès D, Hervé V, Lo N, Tokuda G, Brune A, Bourguignon T. Arora J, et al. Microbiome. 2022 May 27;10(1):78. doi: 10.1186/s40168-022-01258-3. Microbiome. 2022. PMID: 35624491 Free PMC article.
We show that the prokaryotic fraction of the gut microbiota of all termites possesses similar genes for carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolisms, in proportions varying with termite phylogenetic position and diet. ...CONCLUSIONS: Our results reveal that the composition …

Ant-termite interactions: an important but under-explored ecological linkage.
Tuma J, Eggleton P, Fayle TM. Tuma J, et al. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2020 Jun;95(3):555-572. doi: 10.1111/brv.12577. Epub 2019 Dec 25. Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc. 2020. PMID: 31876057 Review.
Here we review and synthesise all existing literature on ant-termite interactions. We infer that ant predation on termites is the most important, most widespread, and most studied type of interaction. ...Although some ant species are specialised termite preda …

Termite evolution: mutualistic associations, key innovations, and the rise of Termitidae.
Chouvenc T, Šobotník J, Engel MS, Bourguignon T. Chouvenc T, et al. Cell Mol Life Sci. 2021 Mar;78(6):2749-2769. doi: 10.1007/s00018-020-03728-z. Epub 2021 Jan 3. Cell Mol Life Sci. 2021. PMID: 33388854 Free PMC article. Review.
