Book excerpt: While there are benefits associated with adopting a nocturnal lifestyle, there are also a number of challenges. For central place foragers, that are required to navigate to and from the nest, the challenge is the low light environment at night. As vision plays an essential role in navigation, central place foragers must be able to extract reliable navigational cues despite the extremely low ambient light levels. By studying the night-active bull ant Myrmecia pyriformis in its natural habitat, I show that the adaptations which allow for the transition from a diurnal to a nocturnal lifestyle do not simply involve anyone behavioural or physiological characteristic, but are instead shared by every aspect of the ants' biology. The majority of activity to and from the nest is restricted to the dusk and dawn twilight, allowing foragers to navigate to and from the nest in sufficient light conditions. To ensure this occurs, foragers measure ambient light conditions and only begin activity when there is sufficient light. As foragers leave the nest, they are immediately oriented towards nearby Eucalyptus trees. By tracking individuals over many nights, I provide the first evidence that nocturnal ants form idiosyncratic routes. To do so, individuals rely on compass information provided by polarised skylight and the landmark panorama. Landmark guidance appears to be the primary mechanism of navigation, with foragers using landmark information from a variety of sources. As light levels fall, navigation suffers as landmark cues become harder to use; foragers become less directed, take longer to move between the nest and trees, walk more slowly, and stop for longer periods of time. Finally, when compared to day-active bull ants, the visual system of M. pyriformis is adapted to its night-active lifestyle via optical and physiological modifications which work to increase visual reliability in low light. As the majority of information on visual system adaptations to low light levels comes from work on nocturnal flying bees, studying the visual system of a nocturnal walking insect thus provides an interesting comparison which may be able to shed light on some of the fundamental questions relating to the costs and benefits of temporal niche partitioning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I think it was one of us,' Walter says ... 'We had the perfect opportunity. Everyone's thinking it, I'm just saying it.' The last thing Hallie and her drama classmates expect to find on a high school scavenger hunt is a dead body. In a town with a population of about thirty-six, no one has experience with murder investigations, but now everyone's asking: who killed Ms Lovelace. The drama kids thought they were the only people nerdy enough to be at school on a Sunday. When they learn that Adam Tolentino, football star, drama-club nemesis and the hottest boy in school, was there too, Hallie is given the task of finding out what he knows – but she soon learns there's more to Adam than meets the eye. Although still grieving her favourite teacher, Hallie knows the show must go on. Managing a musical and a murder investigation is a lot, but Hallie and her friends won't give up on Ms Lovelace – or each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Lacey is quite possibly the most neurotic human being on the planet. A bundle of depression, anxiety and hives, he wonders whether he's cut out to be a father. In fact, he's not even sure he likes children. Henry Loves Jazz is a fly-on-the-wall account of what happens when Henry, his first-born child, comes home: the sleepless nights, exploding eco-nappies, celebrity chef cookbooks, black jellybeans and giant Mexican tarantulas. Henry Loves Jazz is not just about those first months of coping with a baby at forty-three, but the author's journey from a childless existence to the dagdom of parenthood. Along the way, he questions everything he knows about his own upbringing and his relationship with his parents and his long-suffering wife. He also discovers a love so deep, he can't see the bottom.
