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.

(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.

(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.

Identifying and describing both native and exotic species, this book is illustrated with diagrams and photographs, in colour and black and white. It reveals that there are 37 established species of ants in New Zealand, 11 of which are considered to be endemic. It also includes a chapter on collecting and studying the fauna.

(Paperback)

Honey Bee Pests and Diseases is written by three scientists who are also long-time beekeepers. It provides up-to-date information on diagnosing and managing honey bee diseases. Of particular interest are the explanations of how pathogens affect honey bees. This book is aimed at a global audience, not just beekeepers in developed countries.
