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 …

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 symbiotic systems: efficient bio-recycling of lignocellulose.
Ohkuma M. Ohkuma M. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2003 Mar;61(1):1-9. doi: 10.1007/s00253-002-1189-z. Epub 2003 Jan 14. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2003. PMID: 12658509 Review.
Together with their microbial symbionts, they efficiently decompose lignocellulose. In so-called lower termites, a dual decomposing system, consisting of the termite's own cellulases and those of its gut protists, was elucidated at the molecular level. ...In …

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.
Recent advances in our understanding of termite phylogenetic relationships have served to provide a tentative timeline for the emergence of innovative traits and their consequences on the ecological success of termites. While all "lower" termites rely on cell …

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 …

Termites as targets and models for biotechnology.
Scharf ME. Scharf ME. Annu Rev Entomol. 2015 Jan 7;60:77-102. doi: 10.1146/annurev-ento-010814-020902. Epub 2014 Oct 9. Annu Rev Entomol. 2015. PMID: 25341102 Review.
Termites have many unique evolutionary adaptations associated with their eusocial lifestyles. ...Termite biotechnology falls into two categories: (a) termite-targeted biotechnology for pest management purposes, and (b) termite-modeled biotechnology for …
