Summary: | Comprising a substantial part of living biomass on earth, ants are integral to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. More than 12,000 species have been described to date, and it is estimated that perhaps as many still await classification. Ant Ecology explores key ecological issues and new developments in myrmecology across a range of scales. Each chapter links ant ecology to broader ecological principles, provides a succinct summary, and discussesfuture research directions. |
