Our understanding of the causes of aging stems to a large extent from studies on short-lived model organisms11,12. Eusocial insects such as termites, ants and some bees and wasps seem to defy the trade-off between reproduction and longevity13,14,15,16. In the fungus-growing17termiteMacroterm...
There are several subtle signals of a termite infestation. As termite infestations are dangerous and you’re convinced with the danger they’ll set you in, you might be searching for somemethods to prevent termites. To the untrained observer, they are very difficult to spot unless there is obv...
As a check on data quality, we compared ANTS detection in the metagenomic data versus qPCR. There was a significant positive correlation between molecular (qPCR cycle of threshold) and metagenomic detection (totalk-mers) ofA. lumbricoides(pvalue < 0.001, Spearman’sρ = − 0.74),N...
