Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Ants: Their Life History and Classification The study of British ants has long been retarded by the want of a comprehensive work. In spite of the great and admitted fascination of the subject very few books have been devoted to it, and of these not one attempts to deal with the whole subject. It is with the object of supplying this long-felt want that the present volume has been written. The Rev. W. Gould, who may justly be called the Father of British Myrmecology, published a little book - "An Account of English Ants" - in 1747. Although this is of great interest - both as a curiosity and also for the really admirable account of some habits of a few British ants - the author only knew five species, and of course a vast amount of information has accumulated since his time. Lord Avebury's well-known work on "Ants, Bees and Wasps" (1882), which includes most of his earlier papers on these insects, is, as regards ants, almost restricted to experiments on behaviour. The Rev. Farren-White's small popular book, "Ants and Their Ways" (1883), which touches on ants in general, gives a number of useful notes on British species, but it is neither very scientific nor accurate. Finally Edward Saunders in his admirable Hymenoptera Aculeata (1896), devoted some twenty-six pages to the British ants. The treatment is almost entirely systematic and naturally after the lapse of so many years requires bringing up to date. This brief list shows how great is the need for a work which will include all that is now known on our ant fauna. Such a work I have endeavoured to write, and as I have been studying the habits of ants for over twenty years, have taken al! our British species, and have kept most of them in captivity, I feel in some measure justified in undertaking the task.

Book excerpt: 'Brilliant, Fantastic and Significant' - Dr George McGavin Ants are seemingly everywhere, and this familiarity has led to some contemptuous and less than helpful stereotypes. In this compelling insight into the natural and cultural history of ants, Richard Jones helps to unravel some of the myths and misunderstanding surrounding their remarkable behaviours. Ant aggregations in large (often mind-bogglingly huge) nests are a complex mix of genetics, chemistry, geography and higher social interaction. Their forage trails – usually to aphid colonies but occasionally into the larder – are maintained by a wondrous alchemy of molecular scents and markers. Their social colony structure confused natural philosophers of old and still taxes the modern biologist today. Beginning the book with a straightforward look at ant morphology, Jones then explores the ant species found in the British Isles and parts of nearby mainland Europe, their foraging, nesting, navigating and battle instincts, how ants interact with the landscape, their evolution, and their place in our understanding of how life on earth works. Alongside this, he explores the complex relationship between humans and ants, and how ants went from being the subject of fables and moral storytelling to become popular research tools. Drawing on up-to-date science and featuring striking colour photographs throughout, this book presents a convincing case for why ants are worth our greater recognition and respect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1928, this volume, by a world authority on the subject, sums up our knowledge of the social insects. It inquires what are the social insects and what it is that makes us call them ‘social’. Terebrantia, aculeata, wasps, bees, ants, and termites are discussed in a succession of chapters, showing how they have evolved, to how great an extent they have developed, and what are the peculiarities of their evolution. Polymorphism, the Social Medium, Guests and Parasites of the Social Insects, are other subjects discussed in this fascinating book.
