This book is devoted to the ichnology of insects, and associated
trace fossils, in soils and paleosols. The traces described here,
mostly nests and pupation chambers, include one of the most complex
architectures produced by animals. Chapters explore the walls,
shapes and fillings of trace fossils followed by their
classifications and ichnotaxonomy. Detailed descriptions and
interpretations for different groups of insects like bees, ants,
termites, dung beetles and wasps are also provided. Chapters also
highlight the the paleoenvironmental significance of insect trace
fossils in paleosols for paleontological reconstructions,
sedimentological interpretation, and ichnofabrics analysis. Readers
will discover how insect trace fossils act as physical evidence for
reconstructing the evolution of behavior, phylogenies, past
geographical distributions, and to know how insects achieved some
of the more complex architectures. The book will appeal to
researchers and graduate students in ichnology, sedimentology,
paleopedology, and entomology and readers interested in insect
architecture.
