Ants

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This book is the one I would recommend for anyone looking to get into ants, or build their interest in this most fascinating group of insects. -- Steve Price * Sorby Natural History Society Newsletter * This book will undoubtedly and deservedly become the reference book of choice for British myrmecologists, as was its predecessor. It is a delight to read and I am certain to return to it time and again for its reliable keys and as a point of reference. -- Gino Brignoli * BWARS Newsletter * Had this book been available when I studied ant ecology and behaviour, at university and during my subsequent teaching career, it would have been extensively used, and I would certainly recommend it... an excellent resource. -- Dr EJM Evesham * Insectes Sociaux * I found this book to be thoroughly enjoyable. Like most books in the Naturalists' Handbooks series, this might be one of several books you own on the subject, or it might be the only book you ever need on the topic. -- Andy Chick * AES Bulletin * Overall, this second edition is exceptionally well-written and accessible to the general naturalist while maintaining the necessary technical detail for serious entomologists. The style is engaging, and the examples are rooted in the local ant fauna, making it an indispensable resource for those interested in British and Irish myrmecology. -- Heather Campbell * British Journal of Entomology and Natural History * Two seasoned hymenopterists I know have finally steeled themselves to take a closer look at ants as a result of this book being published and I am sure that many more people will do the same. The information contained therein should not disappoint. -- Adrian Knowles * British Wildlife * This new edition will serve as a welcome, unifying resource for amateur and professional myrmecologists -- Aaron M. Ellison * Myrmecological News * Ants finds an impressive balance between richness of content and portability. The book is beautifully illustrated with countless colour photographs, and features clear, accessible figures and tables highlighting the fascinating diversity of traits across ant species... The more I read, the more I liked it. It's engaging, informative, and I think it has something to offer for all levels of reader. -- Juliet Turner * Antenna *
