Social insects are amongst the most successful species. This study
concentrates on the production ecology of ants and termites. Ants
and termites are highly socialised and their groupings in their
most developed form enable them to function as large organisms
comparable with the larger mammals in their influence in
ecosystems. In spite of their social mode of life, quantitative
investigations are not easy and this volume emphasises the
importance of developing reliable techniques. The account deals
critically with production, food and feeding habits, respiration
and energy flow, nutrient dynamics and the role of ants and
termites in ecosystems. The body of information is not only an
invaluable summary and synthesis of work already done, but presents
a concise statement of what now needs to be done and what means
should be employed. The volume is for social insect ecologists and
entomologists and for all who teach ecology, because it contains
valuable data and ideas for the general ecologist.
