The Evolution of Social Behaviour in Insects and Arachnids - Softcover
Social insects and arachnids exhibit forms of complex behavior that involve cooperation in building a nest, defending against attackers or rearing offspring. This book is a comprehensive, up-to-date guide to sociality and its evolution in a wide range of taxa. In it, leading researchers review the extent of sociality in different insect and arachnid groups, analyze the genetic, ecological and demographic causes of sociality from a comparative perspective, and suggest ways in which the field can be better understood. The book contains fascinating accounts of the social lives of many different insects and arachnids, as well as tests of current theories of the evolution of social behavior. The Evolution of Social Behaviour in Insects and Arachnids provides essential reading and insight for students and researchers interested in social behavior, behavioral ecology, entomology, and arachnology.

Book Description:
Many insects and arachnids are termed 'social' because they exhibit forms of complex behaviour that involve cooperation in nest building, defending against attackers or rearing offspring. How, though, did cooperation evolve in so many different places? This book provides a comprehensive account of social behavior in a wide array of insects and arachnids, and tests theories related to its evolution. This is an important book for students and researchers interested in social behavior, behavioural ecology, entomology and arachnology.
From the Back Cover:
