{{#regex: Hypothesizing after the results are known ('''HARKing''') refers to the practice of presenting unexpected findings as a priori hypotheses or failing to report empirically unsupported hypothe...

Savanna ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate and land-use changes yet lack precise assessments of carbon cycling. In a large-scale termite suppression experiment, we found that termites accoun...

Deadwood represents a significant carbon pool and unique biodiversity reservoir in forests and savannas but has been largely overlooked until recently. Storage and release of carbon from deadwood is c...

Here, the authors produce an updated termite classification with genomic scale analyses, highlighting thirteen family-level lineages and resilience of their classification to future termite research.

Habitat fragmentation and climate change affect both pest and engineering species of termites that are widely distributed from the tropics to temperate regions. Our study mechanistically uncovered how...

Sociality underpins major evolutionary transitions and significantly influences the structure and function of complex ecosystems. Social insects, seen as the pinnacle of sociality, have traits like ob...
