The Polymorphism Of Ants (1908)

The Polymorphism of Ants is a scientific book written by William Morton Wheeler in 1908. The book explores the phenomenon of polymorphism in ants, which refers to the existence of different physical forms or castes within a single species. Wheeler's research focuses on the ant species Pheidole, and he examines the various roles and functions of the different castes, such as soldiers, workers, and reproductive individuals. The book includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of the different castes, as well as discussions of their behavior, social organization, and evolutionary significance. The Polymorphism of Ants is considered a classic work in the field of entomology and remains an important reference for researchers studying ant behavior and ecology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
