Product Description

Product Description

From the Arctic to South Africa - one finds them everywhere: Ants. Making up nearly 15% of the entire terrestrial animal biomass, ants are impressive not only in quantitative terms, they also fascinate by their highly organized and complex social system. Their caste system, the division of labor, the origin of altruistic behavior and the complex forms of chemical communication makes them the most interesting group of social organisms and the main subject for sociobiologists. Not least is their ecological importance: Ants are the premier soil turners, channelers of energy and dominatrices of the insect fauna.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most definitive reference book on ants ever!!!!!!!, 26 May 2003
By A Customer
This book is without doubt THE bible of myrmecology. It covers absolutely every aspect of ants. There is not much more about ants that the authors could have put in. If you want the definitive reference guide to ants then buy this book. Yes it is expensive but it is well worth it!!!! It is however aimed at academics so if you are not academically minded you may wish to purchase something else.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ant bible for the serious enthusiast or Myrmechologist, 16 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ants (Hardcover)
There are so many interesting facts and observations packed into this very large book that it is an excellent source of information for any person that is serious about studying ants. Many facts will amaze, such as the size of a leaf cutting ant nest underground, this is the world we don't see, and the authors have presented so much information that it makes the mind boggle.
