LEGATURA EDITORIALE. Condición: NUOVO. Negli insetti le specie sociali rappresentano una percentuale molto limitata, ma se si considera la biomassa di tutti i loro individui si scopre come questa sia più della metà di quella di tutti gli insetti conosciuti. Api, vespe, formiche e termiti sono i gruppi più rappresentativi. Proprio le vespe decide di trattare Stefano Turillazzi, che è stato professore di Zoologia all'Università di Firenze, e ci riporta le ultimissime novità della ricerca riguardante questi sorprendenti insetti: cosa sappiamo di nuovo sulla loro comunicazione, sulla costruzione del nido e sulle variazioni di distribuzione delle specie causate dal commercio globale e dai cambiamenti climatici. Pagg. 224, brossura.…

Condición: As New. xvi, 272, 157 illus, 39 in col. . HB. Fine copy - as new. Covers the Stenogastrinae. Looks at the biology of these little-known wasps at the threshold of sociality, presenting a survey of ideas about their evolution and an assessment of the current standing of controversial concepts. Following taxonomic and morphological descriptions, the behaviour, colonial dynamics, social communication and the remarkably diverse nests of wasps are discussed. Compared to the better-known species of paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets, the hover wasps show various peculiarities, such as characteristics of immature brood rearing, nest defence and mating systems. The nest architecture probably presents the most variable solutions in social wasps and is characterized by an astonishing level of camouflage, making these insects an interesting example of special adaptation to forest environments.
