A call to termitologists: it is time to abandon the use of "lower" and "higher" termites
Carrijo, T. F., Engel, M. S., Chouvenc, T., Gile, G. H., Mikaelyan, A., Dedeine, F., … Santos, C. M. D. (2023, August 23). INSECTES SOCIAUX, Vol. 8.
TL;DR:
This commentary paper addresses the outdated and misleading terminology used to categorize termites into “higher” and “lower”, which perpetuate a linear progression view of evolution, which is both inaccurate and detrimental to the understanding of the diversity of life.

Genomes of Gut Bacteria from Nasonia Wasps Shed Light on Phylosymbiosis and Microbe-Assisted Hybrid Breakdown
MSYSTEMS, 6(2).
author keywords: Proteus; Providencia; Nasonia; gut bacteria; microbiome; phage
TL;DR:
It is shown that bacterial genomes in Nasonia differ from other environments and harbor genes with unique functions that may regulate phylosymbiotic relationships, thus supporting a hologenomic tenet that the same members of the microbiome and the host genome impact phylosYmbiosis, hybrid breakdown, and speciation.

Diet is not the primary driver of bacterial community structure in the gut of litter-feeding cockroaches
BMC MICROBIOLOGY, 19(1).
author keywords: Insects; Gut microbiota; Deep sequencing; Cockroaches; Lignocellulose
