Termite evolution: mutualistic associations, key innovations, and the rise of Termitidae

Original language description

Termites are a clade of eusocial wood-feeding roaches with more than 3,000 described species. Eusociality emerged some 150 million years ago in the ancestor of modern termites, which, since then, have acquired and sometimes lost a series of adaptive traits defining of their evolution. Termites primarily feed on wood, and digest cellulose in association with their obligatory nutritional mutualistic gut microbes. Recent advances in our understanding of termite phylogenetic relationships have served to provide a tentative timeline for the emergence of innovative traits and their consequences on the ecological success of termites. While all lower termites rely on cellulolytic protists to digest wood, higher termites (Termitidae), which comprise some 70 percent of termite species, do not rely on protists for digestion. The loss of protists in Termitidae was a critical evolutionary step that fostered the emergence of novel traits, resulting in a diversification of morphologies, diets, and niches to an exte
