Origin of Mutualism Between Termites and Flagellated Gut Protists: Transition From Horizontal to Vertical Transmission
[Review of ]. FRONTIERS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 8.
author keywords: parasitism; symbiosis; Cryptocercus; evolution; lignocellulose digestion; commensalism
TL;DR:
The strong integration between flagellate encystment cycles and host developmental physiology in Cryptocercus indicates that the relationship of the flageLLates with their proposed gregarious cockroach ancestor was not commensal, but parasitic, with flageellates likely obtaining benefits by taking advantage of host gut metabolites and ingested plant debris.

'Cost' of proctodeal trophallaxis in extant termite individuals has no relevance in analysing the origins of eusociality
Nalepa, C. A. (2016, February). ECOLOGICAL ENTOMOLOGY, Vol. 41, pp. 27–30.
TL;DR:
There is little evidence to support claims of the absence of brood care and its correlate, independent offspring, in extant OP termites, and the notion that proctodeal feeding is not costly to individual alloparents is based on misconceptions regarding what may be considered ‘ancestral’ in a termite.

Parental social environment alters development of nutritionally independent nymphs in Cryptocercus punctulatus (Dictyoptera: Cryptocercidae)
BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY AND SOCIOBIOLOGY, 70(6), 881–887.
author keywords: Social environment; Biparental care; Subsociality; Termites; Eusociality; Wood-feeding cockroach
TL;DR:
It is demonstrated that the parental social environment in Cryptocercus punctulatus modifies offspring development independently of the direct transfer of hindgut fluids and does so for more than 2 years after hatch, contributing to the unique set of circumstances that ultimately resulted in the evolution of termite eusociality.

Origin of termite eusociality: trophallaxis integrates the social, nutritional, and microbial environments
[Review of ]. ECOLOGICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 40(4), 323–335.
author keywords: Alloparental care; microbiome; nitrogen conservation; one piece nest; social environment; subsociality; symbionts; trophallaxis
TL;DR:
This work has concluded that termites are a monophyletic clade embedded within the paraphyletic cockroaches, and sister group to the biparental, wood‐feeding cockroach Cryptocercus, and the latter is an appropriate model for testing assumptions regarding early termite evolution.

Repeated Copulation in the Wood-feeding Cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus Does Not Influence Number or Development of Offspring
JOURNAL OF INSECT BEHAVIOR, 24(1), 44–54.
author keywords: Social monogamy; altricial development; sperm competition; Dictyoptera; Cryptocercidae
TL;DR:
It is unlikely that male-derived material benefits have driven the evolution of repeated copulation in C. punctulatus, and accumulating evidence suggests that prior to oviposition, repeatedCopulation may be rooted in sperm competition, but after the eggs are laid it may secure the continued paternal contribution of the male social partner.

Inheritance and diversification of symbiotic trichonymphid flagellates from a common ancestor of termites and the cockroach Cryptocercus
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 276(1655), 239–245.

MeSH headings : Animals; Cockroaches / parasitology; Genetic Markers; Isoptera / parasitology; Phylogeny; RNA, Ribosomal / chemistry; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR:
This first comprehensive study comparing symbiont molecular phylogeny strongly suggests that a set of symbiotic flagellates representative of extant diversity was already established in an ancestor common to Cryptocercus and termites, was vertically transmitted to their offspring, and subsequently became diversified to distinct levels, depending on both the host and the symbionT lineages.

Wood-feeding cockroaches as models for termite evolution (Insecta : Dictyoptera): Cryptocercus vs. Parasphaeria boleiriana
[Review of ]. MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION, 46(3), 809–817.
author keywords: Cryptocercus; Isoptera; Protozoa; eusociality; biparental care; xylophagy; symbionts
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Cockroaches / anatomy & histology; Cockroaches / classification; Cockroaches / growth & development; Isoptera / anatomy & histology; Isoptera / classification; Isoptera / growth & development; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
It is argued against any reasonable usage of P. boleiriana as a model for the early evolution of Isoptera or even of the clade Cryptocercus+Isoptera, as some other Blaberidae appear more useful as model-taxa-by-homoplasy for theEarly evolution of the CryptocERCus+ isoptera clade, as their brooding behavior is more elaborate.

TL;DR:
An analysis of elevational data from 71 collection sites revealed no significant difference in the range of altitudes at which karyotype groups of C. punctulatus are found, suggesting a lack of specialization was probably the factor that allowed all taxa in the genus to thrive during climatically driven shifts in the geographical location and plant species composition of northern hemisphere mesic forests.

2001 review
Detritivory, coprophagy, and the evolution of digestive mutualisms in Dietyoptera
[Review of ]. INSECTES SOCIAUX, 48(3), 194–201.
author keywords: Dictyoptera; termites; symbiosis; coprophagy; trophallaxis
TL;DR:
It is concluded that coprophagy was the key behavior leading to the evolution of hindgut fermentation systems in the stem group of Dictyoptera, and that Proctodeal trophallaxis evolved from pre-existing intraspecific coprophagous behavior when termite ancestors became subsocial.

Flight characteristics of Mastotermes darwiniensis (Isoptera, Mastotermitidae)
INSECTES SOCIAUX, 48(2), 144–148.
author keywords: Alates; size; sex ratio; flight; hindgut; Mastotermes
TL;DR:
Flight patterns of Mastotermes darwiniensis in northern Australia were monitored using a light trap during the summer monsoons of 1975 and 1996, indicating that flight behaviour is more closely correlated with ecology and life type than with phylogenetic position.

In D. E. B. T. Abe & M. Higashi (Eds.), Termites: Evolution, sociality, symbioses, ecology (pp. 53–75).
Ed(s): D. T. Abe & M. Higashi
TL;DR:
It is suggested that the tempo and mode of their evolution confound efforts to determine the phylogenetic relationships among termites, mantids, and cockroaches, and that recognition of the connection between ontogeny and phylogeny in the Dictyoptera is essential to resolving some of the long standing issues regarding the phylogenetics origin and subsequent evolution of the included taxa.

The ootheca of Mastotermes darwiniensis Froggatt (Isoptera : Mastotermitidae): homology with cockroach oothecae
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 267(1454), 1809–1813.
author keywords: Dictyoptera; termites; oviposition; eggs; reproduction; phylogeny
MeSH headings : Animals; Cockroaches / anatomy & histology; Female; Isoptera / anatomy & histology; Microscopy, Electron, Scanning; Oviposition / physiology; Ovum; Phylogeny; Reproduction
TL;DR:
Primary reproductives of M. darwiniensis were observed during oviposition and the morphology of the reproductive product was examined, indicating that a secondary reduction is the more plausible explanation for the structure of the ootheca.

Transovarial transmission of symbiotic bacteria in Mastotermes darwiniensis (Isoptera : mastotermitidae): Ultrastructural aspects and phylogenetic implications
ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 93(6), 1308–1313.
author keywords: Mastotermes darwiniensis; symbiotic bacteria; transovarial transmission; ultrastructure; bacteriocytes; fat body
TL;DR:
Bacterial transmission to offspring during the life of the colony thus occurs through continuous provisioning of symbionts to the ovariole from bacteriocytes in ovarian fat body, which parallels that of cockroaches as does the entire mechanism of transovarial transmission.
