Ants: Their Structure, Development And Behavior (1910)

Ants: Their Structure, Development And Behavior is a scientific book written by William Morton Wheeler in 1910. The book is an in-depth study of the anatomy, life cycle, and behavior of ants. It covers the classification and identification of different ant species, their morphology, and the various stages of their development from egg to adult. The book also examines the social organization of ant colonies, their communication systems, and their interactions with other organisms. The author provides detailed descriptions of the behavior of ants in relation to their environment, including their foraging, nest building, and defense mechanisms. The book is a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the study of ants, and it remains a classic in the field of entomology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This volume had it's inception in a series of eight lectures delivered at Columbia University during the spring of 1905, and represents, in a much condensed form, the results of a decade of uninterrupted study of the Formicidae, and of the works that have been written on these insects.
