Book Synopsis The Biology Of Social Insects by : Michael D. Breed
Download or read book The Biology Of Social Insects written by Michael D. Breed and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book internationally known experts provide a comprehensive view of current knowledge of social insect biology including much previously unpublished information. Particular emphasis is given to the relationships between social insects and humans; sections are devoted to economically important social insects, pollination, foraging, and the role of insects in ecosystems and agroecosystems. The authors also discuss communication, behavior and caste within insect colonies. A special section focuses on the neurobiology of social insects. A series of papers considers the presocial insects, which live in family groups but without caste differences. Also well represented are the fields of sociobiology and the origins and evolution of social behavior. The book will be valuable to agricultural scientists as well as to entomologists, sociobiologists, ecologists, ethologists, and natural historians. Endocrinologists and neurobiologists will also find important new material.

Book Synopsis American Social Insects by : Charles Duncan Michener
Download or read book American Social Insects written by Charles Duncan Michener and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface: This book concerns the lives of those insects that live in colonies and whose activities center about the queen tended by her six-footed subjects. Included also are the various insects that are parasites and associates of our principal subjects, the bees, ants, wasps, and termites, as well as those that shed light on the origin and evolution of the colonial habits of these insects. We do not intend that this book should be considered a contribution to science; we hope rather that it will be an introduction to the behavior of social insects that will prove interesting to many and perhaps stimulate a few to learn more about these faxcinating creatures. Any of the groups of social insects would provide a worthwhile lifetime project for anyone wishing to enjoy an interesting study and at the same time make a valuable contribution to knowledge. It is scarcely necessary to point out that such a study might also serve a practical purpose, for many social insects are of great importance to man-we need mention only the pollination and nectar gathering of bees, the dissemination of pestiferous insects by ants, and the destruction of property by termites. We wish to thank the many persons who have provided us with photographic illustrations. Their names are mentioned elsewhere, but the time and trouble required for each photograph can scarcely be acknowledged. We wish also to mention those who stimulated us to write this book, the late Clyde Fisher and Dr. Mon A. Cazier.--Mary H. Michener, Charles D. Minchener--Lawrence, Kansas.

This book consists of eight chapters, which mostly deal with the sociality of insects and other aspects. The first chapter provides an introduction to the subject of insect sociality. Topics in this chapter include definition of sociality, types of social insects, and insect sociobiology. The next chapter focuses on the origin and evolution of insect sociality and discusses the theories of origin of sociality. The following chapters discuss the aspects of social insects in terms of antiquity and territoriality. Caste differentiation and division of labor is also emphasized, as well as the genetics of sociality. The last two chapters deal with the larvae of the social hymenoptera and the social and evolutionary significance of social insect symbionts.

The book first underscores the evolution of social life and organization and control of social insect populations. The text also ponders on the numbers and density of social insect populations, as well as methods of estimation, numbers in colonies, and density and biomass. Egg production, stationary populations, nest size, productivity, and survival are discussed. The manuscript discusses reproduction and brood periodicity of social insect populations. Discussions focus on reproduction by single and group of queens and reciprocity among bees, wasps, and ants. The text also examines nest sites and shelters, mating structures, and food collection of social insects. Discussions focus on food supply, intergeneric competition, predators and parasites, and population regulation among bees, wasps, termites, and ants. The book is a dependable reference for readers interested in the study of social insect populations.
