• Origin of termite eusociality: trophallaxis integrates the social, nutritional, and microbial environments (2015, background): “Gut microbes play a role in kin recognition within the social group (Matsuura, 2001; Lize et al., 2013), in reducing the risk of mycosis at the individual and colony level (Rosengaus et al., 2013, 2014), and may directly affect insect development by regulating gene expression in their host (Cruden…”
• Scents of self: The expression component of self/non- self recognition systems (2004, methodology): “Experiments using the termite Reticulotermes speratus have suggested that altering the gut bacteria affects patterns of nestmate recognition (Matsuura 2001).”
