Termites are social insects that play important ecological roles, especially in dry tropical ecosystems. However, studying their ecology is severely hampered by the difficulty with which species are morphologically identified, limiting studies to a few iconic species. Here we present the results of molecular species delimitation approaches combined with morphological analyses to provide a comprehensive update on termite specie...

Field size and shape constrain spatial and temporal management of agriculture with implications for farm profitability, field biodiversity and environmental performance. Large, conventional equipment struggles to farm small, irregularly shaped fields efficiently. The study hypothesized that autonomous crop machines would make it possible to farm small, non-rectangular fields profitably, thereby preserving field biodiversity an...
