Unravelling the evolution of wood-feeding in termites with 47 high-resolution genome assemblies - Nature Communications
Termites, the largest lineage of non-hymenopteran social insects, are important decomposers of plant organic matter in the tropics. Here, the authors sequence the genomes of 45 termites and two cockro...
