This research investigates the colonization processes of fungus-growing termites and their symbiotic fungi, focusing on the evolutionary implications of vertical and horizontal transmission. It aims to understand how these dynamics affect species diversification in isolated ecosystems like Madagascar.
Rare colonisation events may strongly affect evolution of biotas, especially from large continuous biomes into smaller isolated ones.
Colonisation is often difficult, particularly for bilateral mutualists: successful dispersal requires partners either to be permanently associated or to find one another after dispersing separately.
Vertical transmission of symbionts should facilitate colonization, as partners disperse together. I will study this hypothesis using fungus-growing termites and their…
