Förlagets beskrivning
Bringing together for the first time prominent researchers in social insect
pheromone communication, including nestmate recognition, this book looks at
ants, wasps, bees, and termites, highlighting areas of convergence and
divergence among these groups, and identifying areas that need further
investigation. Presenting broad synthetic overviews as well as species-specific
studies, the volume will be useful to natural scientists, ecologists, and those
interested in pest management, as well as to anyone interested in the
fascinating chemically mediated behavioral interactions of social insects.
Characteristically, social insects rely heavily on behavioral mechanisms and
associated pheromonal chemistry to maintain their sociality and to successfully
function as a colony unit. Bringing together for the first time prominent
researchers in social insect pheromone communication, including nestmate
recognition, this book looks at ants, wasps, bees, and termites, highlighting
areas of convergence and divergence among these groups, and identifying areas
that need further investigation. Presenting broad synthetic overviews as well as species-specific studies,
the volume will be useful to natural scientists, ecologists, and those
interested in pest management, as well as to anyone interested in the
fascinating chemically mediated behavioral interactions of social insects. Specialists in the field of social-insect pheromone communication,
including nest-mate recognition, examine ants, wasps, bees and termites,
highlighting areas of convergence and divergence among these groups, and
identifying areas that need further investigation.
