Comprising a substantial part of living biomass on earth, ants are
integral to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. More than
12,500 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. The book begins with a global
perspective on species diversity in time and space, and examines
interactions at the community level before describing the
population ecology of these social insects. The final section
covers the recent ecological phenomenon of invasive ants: how they
move across the globe, invade, affect ecosystems, and are managed
by humans. Each chapter links ant ecology to broader ecological
principles, provides a succinct summary, and discusses future
research directions. Practical aspects of myrmecology, applications
of ant ecology, debates, and novel discoveries are highlighted in
text boxes throughout the volume. The book concludes with a
synthesis of the current state of the field and a look at exciting
future research directions. The extensive reference list and full
glossary are invaluable for researchers, and those new to the
field.
