This book is an authoritative study of the Formicidae, a vast family of social insects consisting of over 14,000 named species, making them one of the most diverse insect groups on earth. Divided into 22 chapters, the book covers a wide range of topics including their behavioral ecology, genetics, systematics, and paleontology. The latest chapter, for instance, covers advances in phylogenetics, while other chapters cover such topics as social organization, communication, navigation, and evolution. The impressive array of expert contributors ensures an in-depth, interdisciplinary approach to the subject matter. The insights into the origins, evolutionary forces, and adaptive strategies of this ecologically important group presented here will be valuable to both advanced students and researchers in the biological sciences.
