Book excerpt: From the Arctic to South Africa - one finds them everywhere: Ants. Making up nearly 15% of the entire terrestrial animal biomass, ants are impressive not only in quantitative terms, they also fascinate by their highly organized and complex social system. Their caste system, the division of labor, the origin of altruistic behavior and the complex forms of chemical communication makes them the most interesting group of social organisms and the main subject for sociobiologists. Not least is their ecological importance: Ants are the premier soil turners, channelers of energy and dominatrices of the insect fauna.

Book excerpt: This work originated out of personal need to see how and where a certain generic name had been used, or whether one coined for a special occassion had already been employed. The author dissected a copy of Marschall's Nomenclator to make a single alphabet from the original twenty-one lists, and added to the accumulation yearly from the names found in the Zoological Record. While not the final result, the cobbled work evolved with additional effort.
