This is a project of the International Union for the Study of Social Insects (IUSSI), the worldwide organizing body for the scientific study of social insects.
Table of Contents
See attached - Encyclopedia contents (list of entries, 184 so far)
NB. For present purposes the Editor (Prof. Starr) has separated the entries into two groups: conceptual and taxon-based. This is for convenience at this stage, as he foresee combining them alphabetically, as in any encyclopedia. In this list, an asterisk indicates a longer entry, approximately 1000-3000 words, exclusive of illustrations, within-entry headings and a brief bibliography. Those without asterisks he foresees as shorter entries, usually 500-1000 words. These latter will mostly be elaborations on topics within the longer entries.
