Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ants of North America The bibliographic citations carried for each species and subspecies have been extensively edited. It is no longer practical to present full bibliographies for many of our species. In recent years many regional studies dealing with the distribution of our ants have been published. Much use has been made of such studies in preparing the ranges pre sented herein. But I cannot feel that this type of publication should be listed in the bibliography of each species which it covers. It has been assumed that if the reader of this book finds it necessary to look up references given under the various species, it will be because he wishes to secure a fuller knowledge of the structure of the insects than can be obtained from the keys. Considerable effort has been made to see that all such references apply to descriptive material or to points which elucidate the taxonomy of the species involved. Papers which carry only distributional records have been placed in the general bibliography at the end of the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this enormously useful book, a profound need is met by a profound contribution, the first such comprehensive work in over fifty years. While brief, Ants of North America is the distillation of a vast amount of study and practice. It is a joy to browse and read, and will have an important impact on the study of ants."—Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University "Two of the most prolific ant faunists have produced a marvelous taxonomic guide to the ant genera of North America. The keys and genus descriptions are succinct and easy to read, the illustrations superb. This book is a must for entomologists, ecologists, and particularly all who study ants."—Bert Hölldobler, Foundation Professor of Life Sciences, Arizona State University "This book represents a bold advance in the study of North American ants. It provides, for the first time, an accessible and lavishly illustrated guide to all the ant genera occurring in the United States and Canada. It will greatly enhance both public interest in ants and scientific investigation of their ecology, behavior and evolution."—Philip S. Ward, Department of Entomology and Center for Population Biology, University of California at Davis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ants that commonly invade homes, damage structures, inflict painful bites, or sting humans or their pets are considered pest ants. This illustrated identification guide highlights forty species of ants that pose difficulties in urban settings. Included are well-known invasive troublemakers such as the red imported fire ant and Argentine ant, as well as native species. After an introductory chapter on the evolution, biology, and ecology of pest ants, the book follows a taxonomic arrangement by subfamily. Each subfamily chapter includes separate illustrated keys to both the genera and species of that group to enable entomologists and pest control professionals to identify pest ants correctly. The species accounts cover biology, distribution, and methods for excluding and/or removing ants from human structures and landscapes. The authors focus on the ants' biology and nesting behavior, life cycles, and feeding preferences; an intimate understanding of these factors enables the implementation of the least toxic control methods available. A chapter on control principles and techniques encompasses chemical strategies, habitat and structural modifications, biological control, and integrated pest management methods. Urban Ants of North America and Europe also contains valuable information on the diagnosis and treatment of human reactions to ant stings and bites. This comprehensive reference work on these economically significant ants includes the scientific, English, French, Spanish, and German names for each species and a summary of invasive ant species in the United States and Europe.

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 fascina tion 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
