• Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, background): “Thus, rather than cellulose degradation, the major benefit of symbiosis with bacteria may be the improved supply of nitrogen by lowering the carbon–nitrogen ratio during gut fermentations (Bignell 2000).”
• Integrating Ethno-Ecological and Scientific Knowledge of Termites for Sustainable Termite Management and Human Welfare in Africa (2009, background): “Symbionts: Termite symbioses are characterized by obligate nutritional mutualisms between the insect host and various micro-organisms including bacteria, protozoa, and fungi (Bignell 2000).”
