i5K Comments for Cryptocercus darwini
Cryptocercus is unique for a number of reasons. It is a subsocial species and likely the closest living relative of termites. Therefore, studies on Cryptocercus are likely to shed light on the origins of eusociality in an important group of insects (termites). Cryptocercus is xylophagous and likely to have evolved unique pathways and associations to deal with the problem of celulose degradation. Fresh material is easily obtained from the field Srini Kambhampati
