(Paperback)

Offers a comprehensive survey of the many roles that hormones play in the biology of insects. This work discusses topics such as the control of molting, metamorphosis, reproduction, caste determination in social insects, diapause, migration, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, diuresis, and behavior. It is useful for students and nonspecialists.

(Paperback)

Analyzes how parasites shape the biology of social insects: the ants, wasps, bees, and termites. This book places the issues such as division of labor, genetics, immunology, and epidemiology in a common framework to examine two of the most successful adaptations of life: parasitism and sociality.

(Paperback)

Providing an introduction to parasitoid natural history and taxonomy, this book asks how a consideration of evolutionary biology can help us understand the behavior, ecology, and diversity of the approximately one to two million species of parasitoid found on earth. It also discusses the theoretical background to the subject.

This edited collection is an introduction to the invertebrate work being performed by Russian scientists. The book should be useful for those interested in acquiring a working knowledge of the behavioral techniques, data, issues and history of Russian studies of invertebrate behavior.

(Paperback)

The self-sacrifice of sterile workers in ant colonies has been particularly difficult for evolutionary biologists to explain. This title presents an overview of the scientific knowledge about social evolution in ants. It shows how studies on ants have contributed to an understanding of many fundamental topics in behavioral ecology.

From the rain forests of Borneo to the tenements of Manhattan, winged insects are a feature of life on earth. Here, Robert Dudley presents an explanation of how insects fly. The author relates the biomechanics of light to insect ecology and evolution in a major new work of synthesis.

(Paperback)

Presents a study of arthropod predador-prey systems. This work shows how many of the components of predation may be simply modeled in order to reveal their effects on the overall dynamics of the interacting populations. It also describes how the biological processes of insect predator-prey, including host-parasitoid interactions may be understood.

(Hardback)

The internationally distinguished scientists contributing to this volume approach the subject from an ecological rather than taxonomic standpoint and present the basic biology of insects associated with streams, ponds, lakes, and marine habitats.

(Paperback)

Is it possible that jumping spiders can dream This short story for young readers describes the nighttime behaviors of this fascinating family of spiders--behaviors that seem to indicate a dream-filled sleeping period similar to our own.

An introduction to Australia's diverse land snails, their natural history, biology and identification.

(Hardback)

(Paperback)

Contains 475 original and previously unpublished biological drawings showing the external and internal anatomy of 80 species that are frequently studied in the laboratory in zoology and marine biology courses. They are accompanied by notes on the classification, life cycle, and habitat of each speci

The second of two volumes describing Australia's 1200 known species of bryozoans.

(Hardback)

Diagnoses and describes 50 genera and 166 species of the Australo-Pacific Prioninae.

(Hardback)

An introduction to the Australian Cerambycidae, including biology, phylogeny and morphology of adult and larvae.

(Paperback)

This guide covers barnacles of mainly southeastern Australia and begins with information about their biology, habitats and diversity. A description of each animal is accompanied by a colour photograph.
