Editorial Reviews

An inclusive look at the pest ants of the world. Covering species found in South America, Africa, Australia, India, Europe, and North America, the book draws on a wide variety of disciplines to bring together a picture of the systematics; reproduction; biology; behavioral, chemical, and applied ecology; and problems of control of pest ants. With both species-specific studies and broad, synthetic overviews, this is a useful book for not only entomologists but also ethnologists, biochemists, agricultural scientists, ecologists, and others interested in the relationships between insects and humans.
