Tumulitermes westraliensis and Coptotermes acinaciformis raffrayi (Isoptera) gut communities with two amplification strategies
This study characterised the gut communities of higher termite Tumulitermes westraliensis and lower termite Coptotermes acinaciformis raffrayi for the first time. Five colonies were sampled to investigate colony level intraspecific variation. Two different amplification strategies (different primer pairs and annealing temperatures) were compared to measure technical variation across datasets.
