• The Evolution of Agriculture in Insects (2005, background): “…most likely originated via the consumption-first route, because many nonfarming termite species are attracted to and feed on fungus-infested wood, which suggests that the nonfarming ancestors of the farming termites may have fed on fungi as well (Batra & Batra 1979, Rouland-Lefevre 2000).”
• The evolution of uniparental transmission of fungal symbionts in fungus-growing termites (Macrotermitinae) (2002, background): “cellulose digesting enzymes (Abo-Khatwa 1978; Martin and Martin 1978, 1979; Rouland et al. 1988; Veivers et al. 1991; Rouland-Lefevre 2000).”
• Microbial cellulolytic enzymes: diversity and biotechnology with reference to lignocellulosic biomass degradation (2020, background): “However, several enzymes encoding xylanolytic activity have been identified and characterized from the fungi growing in midgut of termites and bacteria isloated from a grass feeding termite (Rouland-Lefèvre 2000; Sinma et al. 2011).”
• Role of the Termite Gut Microbiota in Symbiotic Digestion (2010, background): “lignocellulosic substrates that are colonized by fungi and therefore have a decreased C-to-N ratio (Rouland-Lefèvre 2000; Cornelius et al. 2002).”
• Insect-Fungal Associations: Ecology and Evolution (2005, background): “Some studies suggest that the role of the fungus may differ in different termites (Rouland-Lefèvre 2000; Hyodo et al. 2003).”
• Forage collection, substrate preparation, and diet composition in fungus‐growing ants (2010, background): “…once in the fungus-growing termites (Macrotermitinae: Termitidae: Isoptera), which cultivate a single genus of basidiomycete Termitomyces fungi (Rouland-Lefevre, 2000; Aanen et al., 2002; De Fine Licht et al., 2005), once in the fungusgrowing ants (Attini: Formicidae), which cultivate…”
