An Introduction to Termites: Biology, Taxonomy and Functional Morphology (2010, background): “They live predominantly in tropical regions, where they are by far the most important decomposer animals (Davies et al. 2003).”
Measuring biodiversity to explain community assembly: a unified approach (2011, background): “Studies of trait diversity at large scales are scarce (but see, Willig, 2001; Davies et al., 2003; Stevens et al., 2003; Micheli & Halpern, 2005; Beche & Statzner, 2009; Ingram & Shurin, 2009).”
Plant traits and wood fates across the globe: rotted, burned, or consumed? (2009, unknown): “Across tropical rain forests, there is large variation in termite diversity and density, with diversity declining as follows: Africa4South America4Asia4 Madagascar4Australia (Davies et al., 2003).”
Global Biogeography of Termites: A Compilation of Sources (2010, background): “An extended campaign using this protocol has allowed the comparison of tropical forest assemblages at the local (for example Eggleton et al. 1997, 1999; Davies 2002 ), regional (Gathorne-Hardy et al. 2002) and global (Davies et al. 2003) levels.”
