Ameisen by Bert Hölldobler
A detailed, accessible survey of ant biology and behavior that treats colonies as integrated ‘‘superorganisms,’’ explaining anatomy, communication (especially chemical signaling), division of labor and caste systems, nest construction, foraging strategies and territoriality, reproductive cycles and colony founding, and the ecological and evolutionary forces that shaped their diversity; the text combines natural-history observations, experimental findings and evolutionary theory to show how cooperative organization, symbioses with plants and other animals, and sophisticated social strategies have made ants one of the most successful animal groups on Earth.
