Moffett, "the Indiana Jones of entomology," takes us around the globe on a strange and colorful journey in search of the hidden world of ants. In tales from Nigeria, Indonesia, the Amazon, Australia, California, and elsewhere, Moffett recounts his entomological exploits and provides fascinating details on how ants live and how they dominate their ecosystems through strikingly human behaviors, yet at a different scale and a faster tempo. Moffett's spectacular close-up photographs shrink us down to size, so that we can observe ants in familiar roles; warriors, builders, big-game hunters, and slave owners. We find them creating marketplaces and assembly lines and dealing with issues we think of as uniquely human-including hygiene, recycling, and warfare. Adventures among Ants introduces some of the world's most awe-inspiring species and offers a startling new perspective on the limits of our own perception.? Ants are world-class road builders, handling traffic problems on thoroughfares that dwarf our highway systems in their complexity? Ants with the largest societies often deploy complicated military tactics? Some ants have evolved from hunter-gatherers into farmers, domesticating other insects and growing crops for food 606 $aAnts$xBehavior 606 $aAnt communities 606 $aAnts$xEcology 615 0$aAnts$xBehavior. 615 0$aAnt communities. 615 0$aAnts$xEcology. 676 $a595.79/615 700 $aMoffett$b Mark W$0788410 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457934703321 996 $aAdventures among ants$92460808 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02404nas 2200685-c 450 001 996404440103316 005 20240202213016.0 011 $a2046-3839 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2923794-4 035 $a(OCoLC)805948405 035 $a(CKB)3350000000000220 035 $a(CONSER)--2021239350 035 $a(EXLCZ)993350000000000220 100 $a20120813a20129999 --- - 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aFrancosphères 210 1$aLiverpool$cLiverpool University Press$d[2012]- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 311 $a2046-3820 606 $aFrench language$zForeign countries$vPeriodicals 606 $aFrench literature$zForeign countries$xHistory and criticism$vPeriodicals 606 $aCivilización$2abne 606 $aLengua francesa$2abne 606 $aLiteratura francesa$2abne 606 $aCivilization$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00862898 606 $aFrench language$xForeign countries$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934424 606 $aFrench literature$xForeign countries$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934711 607 $aFrench-speaking countries$xCivilization$vPeriodicals 607 $aFrance$xCivilization$vPeriodicals 607 $aFrancia$2abne 607 $aPaíses francófonos$2abne 607 $aPaíses extranjeros$2embne 607 $aFrance$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJd8gD4vdtqQMdQHvYqbBP 607 $aFrench-speaking countries$2fast 608 $aCríticas literarias$2abne 608 $aRevistas.$2abne 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals$2fast 608 $aZeitschrift.$2gnd-content 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 610 $aCultural Studies;$aFrench studies;$aFrancophone;$aFrance;$aFrench;$aEurope and Languages 615 0$aFrench language 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aCivilización 615 7$aLengua francesa. 615 7$aLiteratura francesa. 615 7$aCivilization 615 7$aFrench language$xForeign countries 615 7$aFrench literature$xForeign countries 676 $a306.0944 712 02$aUniversity of London Institute in Paris, 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996404440103316 996 $aFrancosphères$92578544 997 $aUNISA
