内容説明

This book examines the structure and function of insect societies from a nutritional perspective in order to foster a fuller understanding of how their social systems evolved. With contributions by 15 international experts, the book spans a full range of taxonomic diversity and summarizes past and current thought, combining it with new analyses and suggesting new directions for research. The volume will be of great interest to biologists concentrating in social evolution as well as entomologists studying social insects.
