A robust classification system for termites has been developed with expert consensus and powerful modelling.

Scientists found evidence that termites which lived millions of years ago engaged in the same mating behaviors described in their living relatives today.

Researchers have completed a comprehensive analysis of the head width of over 1500 modern and fossilized species of termites and determined that their size isn’t shrinking at a geological timescale.

Scientists uncover evidence that connects increased rates of mutation to changes in genome size in prokaryotes.

Researchers combine mathematical models, marine science, and metagenomics to answer a decades-old question – why are there so many species in the ocean?

Study of families across the globe sheds light on termite evolution.

Researchers have shown that the bacterial communities in termite guts came about through both inheritance and transfer between colonies.

OIST is proud to announce that five new faculty members have joined the university.
