Global Biogeography of Termites: A Compilation of Sources (2010, background): “Present day local assemblages and the distribution patterns of the different evolutionary clades are a result of the diversification, radiation and dispersal of termites, as well as the influence of contemporary environmental forces (Eggleton 2000; Eggleton and Tayasu 2001 ; D avies et al. 2003; Ch”
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes. (2008, unknown): “Nutrient-rich litter further stimulates carbon incorporation in soil by ecosystem engineers, especially earthworms and termites (Lavelle et al. 1997; Eggleton & Tayasu 2001).”
Soil fauna and soil functions: a jigsaw puzzle (2014, background): “Finally, Eggleton and Tayasu (2001) combined these two existing schemes into a “two-way lifeway” classification (Table 1), after considering that the substrate’s humification and position in relation to the nest center have more ecological importance than the substrate itself.”
Molecular phylogeny of the Rhinotermitidae (2004, background): “It is of particular biological interest due to the variety of caste patterns and nesting behaviours displayed by its members ( Eggleton and Tayasu, 2001; Parmentier and Roisin, 2003).”
