Dr. Eleanor's book of common ants / by Spicer Rice, Eleanor,author.(CARDINAL)352157; Dunn, Rob,author.; Wild, Alexander L.,1973-author.(CARDINAL)352156;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 135-136).Carpenter ant (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) -- Pavement ant (Tetramorium sp.e) -- Odorous house ant (Tapinoma sessile) -- Winter ant (Prenolepis imparis) -- Asian needle ant (Brachyponera chinensis) -- Winnow ant (Aphaenogaster rudis) -- Big headed ant (Pheidole) -- Southern fire ant (Solenopsis xyloni) -- Little black ant (Monomorium minimum) -- Thief ant (Solenopsis molesta) -- High noon ant (Forelius pruinosus) -- Lasius ant (Lasius) -- Field ant (Formica) -- Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) -- Red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) -- Crazy ant (Nylanderia sp.) -- Tiny trapjaw ant (Strumigenys spp.) -- Acrobat ant (Crematogaster) -- Frequently asked ant questions -- How to keep ants at home -- Appendix 1: additional resources.Did you know that for every human on earth, there are about one million ants? They are among the longest-lived insects-with some ant queens passing the thirty-year mark-as well as some of the strongest. Fans of both the city and countryside alike, ants decompose dead wood, turn over soil (in some places more than earthworms), and even help plant forests by distributing seeds. But while fewer than thirty of the nearly one thousand ant species living in North America are true pests, we cringe when we see them marching across our kitchen floors. No longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Eleanor Spicer Rice, Alex Wild, and Rob Dunn metamorphose creepy-crawly revulsion into myrmecological wonder. Emerging from Dunn's ambitious citizen science project Your Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University), Dr. Eleanor's Book of Common Ants provides an eye-opening entomological overview of the natural history of species most noted by project participants-and even offers tips on keeping ant farms in your home. Exploring species from the spreading red imported fire ant to the pavement ant, and featuring Wild's stunning photography, this guide will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way we perceive the environment around us by deepening our understanding of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring everyone to find their inner naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirt-magnifying glass in hand.

In The Fire Ants Walter Tschinkel provides not just an encyclopedic overview of S. invicta - how they found colonies, construct and defend their nests, forage and distribute food, struggle among themselves for primacy, and even relocate entire colonies - but also an account of how research is done, how science establishes facts, and the pleasures and problems of a scientific career."--Cover.
