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.

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.

(Hardback)

The Australian Beetles series represents a comprehensive treatment of the beetles of Australia, a relatively under-studied fauna that includes many unusual and unique evolutionary lineages found nowhere else on Earth.
