Paper by Nobuaki Mizumoto, Hellemans Simon, , Tom Bourguignon/Evolutionary Genomics Unit, OIST, Mike Engel and me on decoding termite pre-mating behavior from amber fossil is out! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Hellemans et al. produce an updated termite classification with genomic scale analyses, highlighting thirteen family-level lineages and resilience of their classification to future termite research. Tom Bourguignon/Evolutionary Genomics Unit, OIST Hellemans Simon nature.com/articles/s4146…

Simon et al. updated termite family- and subfamily-level classification. Thanks to the genome-scale ultraconserved element data used here, this classification shall remain a stable backbone for termite evolution research for many future years. Congrats!
