Anacanthotermes Termite Symbiont Phylogenetic Analysis

Data Sheet 1_Anacanthotermes symbionts clarify the evolutionary history of termite-symbiotic Parabasalia.pdf is a 5.2 MB PDF authored by Kali L. Swichtenberg and last updated on 2026-04 10. The dataset presents results from microscopy, single cell PCR, and long-read amplicon sequencing used to characterize the morphology and phylogenetic position of protist symbionts in Anacanthotermes termites.

Use Cases

• Reconstructing the coevolutionary history of termites and their Parabasalian symbionts based on described phylogenetic analysis.
• Testing hypotheses of horizontal symbiont transfer between distantly related termite lineages based on the reported distribution of symbiont genera.
• Investigating the origin and diversification of the Parabasalia class Spirotrichonymphea within the Teletisoptera clade as suggested by the study's findings.

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• The study employs multiple characterization methods: microscopy, single cell PCR, and long-read amplicon sequencing.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 5.2 MB PDF; the underlying raw sequence or tabular data is not directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
