• The importance of termites (Isoptera) for the recycling of herbivore dung in tropical ecosystems: a review (2008, background): “…overviews of the food and feeding habits of termites either only list mammalian dung as just one possible food item (Lee & Wood, 1971; Wood, 1976, 1978; Bignell & Eggleton, 2000; Traniello & Leuthold, 2000) or even do not mention mammalian dung (Adamson, 1943; Noirot & Noirot-Timothée, 1969).”
• Feeding groups, lifetypes and the global ecology of termites (2001, unknown): “The most important of these is the actual cost of finding, exploring and defending relatively distant substrates as well as protecting the foraging workers (Traniello & Leuthold 2000).”
• The Evolution of Agriculture in Insects (2005, background): “…on one main task: foraging; processing and cleaning of substrate before incorporation into the garden; planting of mycelium onto new substrate; monitoring and weeding of the garden; or disposal of diseased or senescent garden (Bot et al. 2001a, Hart et al. 2002, Traniello & Leuthold 2000).”
• Pheromones and Chemical Ecology of Dispersal and Foraging in Termites (2010, background): “The selection of a suitable nesting site is dependent upon environmental factors (Nutting 1969; Shellman-Reeve 1994; Traniello and Leuthold 2000; Lima et al. 2006).”
• Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil Fertility (2013, background): “For example, the carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratios of undecayed leaf litter and wood, typically 25–100:1 and 200–1200:1, respectively [146,147], are reduced by the white-rot Termitomyces fungi cultivated in the gardens of macrotermitine termites (Termitidae: Macrotermitinae) to values much closer to t”
