An intermediate level of disturbance with customary agricultural practices increases species diversity in Maya community forests in Belize
Across the planet, Indigenous societies control, use, and manage large tracts of tropical
forest that are crucial for combating climate change. Here we investigate whether customary …

Resistance of mound-building termites to anthropogenic land-use change
Humans pose a major threat to many species through land-use change in virtually every
habitat. However, the extent of this threat is largely unknown for invertebrates due to …

The impact of termites on soil sheeting properties is better explained by environmental factors than by their feeding and building strategies
Termites are key soil bioturbators in tropical ecosystems. Apart from mound nests
constructed by some advanced lineages, most of the species use their faeces, oral …
