Wood ants play an ecologically dominant and conspicuous role in
temperate boreal forests, making a keystone contribution to
woodland ecosystem functions and processes. Wood ant taxonomy and
global distributions set the scene for this text's exploration of
wood ants as social insects, examining their flexible social
structures, genetics, population ecology, and behaviour, from
nest-mate recognition to task allocation. Wood ants' interactions
with their environment and with other organisms are essential to
their success: competition, predation and mutualism are described
and analysed. Bringing together the expertise of ecological
researchers and conservation practitioners, this book provides
practical and theoretical advice about sampling and monitoring
these insects, and outlines the requirements for effective
conservation. This is an indispensable resource for wood ant
researchers, entomologists, conservationists and ecological
consultants, as well as anyone interested in social insects,
keystone species and the management and conservation of forest
ecosystems.
