Ants: Standard Methods for Measuring and Monitoring

Ants: Standard Methods for Measuring and Monitoring Biodiversity
- Used Book in Good Condition
Numbering more than nine thousand described species, ants rank among the most abundant and widespread of insect groupsâ€”the collective weight of ants in tropical forests and grasslands may constitute as much as 10 to 15 percent of the animal biomass. Written by thirty leading ant biologists, this comprehensive book describes procedures for surveying the diversity of ground-dwelling ants. It introduces a standardized protocol for collecting ant samples in any part of the world and for conducting repeated sampling over time, which enables researchers to analyze global and long-term patterns. Covering aspects of ant ecology and taxonomy, species identification, specimen preparation, and sources of sampling equipment, this book provides the necessary foundation for readers from a wide range of backgrounds.
