• The Epidemiology and Evolution of Symbionts with Mixed-Mode Transmission (2013, background): “Exclusive PT seems rare: A notable exception is the transfer of symbiotic fungi by a species of termite (Korb & Aanen 2003).”
• The Evolution of Agriculture in Insects (2005, background): “In the few cases where fungal transmission has been studied in the remaining macrotermitines (Johnson 1981, Johnson et al. 1981, Korb & Aanen 2003, Sieber 1983), these termites rely on horizontal acquisition of fungal crops from the environment in each generation.”
