• Global Biogeography of Termites: A Compilation of Sources (2010, background): “Second, recent morphological and molecular studies have significantly improved our understanding of termite phylogenetics ( Donovan et al. 2000; Inward et al. 2007) and have provided a well supported tree for testing biogeographical hypotheses.”
• Gut content analysis and a new feeding group classification of termites (2001, background): “They were selected to include not only all seven families of termites (including all putative clades; Eggleton, 2000) but also all known feeding groups (Table 2).”

• Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, background): “(2000) for an estimate based on morphological characters], and there is some evidence that not all the subfamilies are monophyletic (Donovan et al. 2000; Eggleton 2001).”
• Family-Group Names for Termites (Isoptera) (2004, background): “Labrum uniformly sclerotized (Sands, 1998: lacking the transverse apical band of sclerotization seen in Macrotermitinae, e.g., Donovan et al., 2000); postclypeus strongly convex, with distinct median line.”
• Phylogenetic evidence for a single, ancestral origin of a ‘true’ worker caste in termites (2000, methodology): “The highest-likelihood topologies supporting the relationships presented by Donovan et al. (2000) and Thorne & Carpenter (1992), however, are not signi®cantly less likely than the most likely tree (Table 5).”
