BRAND NEW.<P> This title is not held in stock but we are happy to supply on special order. Please contact us. From the Arctic to South Africa - one finds them everywhere: Ants. Making up nearly 15 per cent 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. ISBN: 9783540520924 $378.00AUD
