Synopsis

Ants: Their Structure, Development and Behavior is a comprehensive book written by William Morton Wheeler in 1910. The book provides an in-depth examination of the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of ants. Wheeler, a renowned entomologist, uses his extensive knowledge and experience in the field to describe the complex social structure of ant colonies and the intricate relationships between individual ants.The book is divided into six sections, each of which covers a different aspect of ant biology. The first section provides an introduction to the study of ants and their classification. The second section explores the anatomy of ants, including their external and internal structures, and the third section focuses on their development from egg to adult.The fourth section is dedicated to the behavior of ants, including their communication, foraging, and defense mechanisms. The fifth section delves into the social organization of ant colonies, describing the different castes of ants and their roles within the colony. The final section discusses the evolution of ants and their relationships with other organisms.Throughout the book, Wheeler uses detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex biology of ants. He also includes numerous examples and anecdotes from his own research, making the book both informative and engaging.Ants: Their Structure, Development and Behavior is a seminal work in the field of entomology and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of ants and their behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
