Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The book, Advances in Termite, Bee and Wasp Biology - Ecology, Physiology, and Integrated Management, is a collection of research chapters that offers a comprehensive overview of recent developments in Insectology, specifically focusing on Termites and Hymenoptera. Termites are eusocial insects in the order Blattodea, closely related to cockroaches and found on every continent except Antarctica, with the greatest diversity in tropical and subtropical regions. With over 3,000 species classified into damp-wood, dry-wood, and subterranean types, they form highly organized colonies composed of reproductive, worker, and soldier castes. Subterranean termites, known for causing the most structural damage, communicate through pheromones and vibrations and live in some of the largest insect colonies on Earth. Their unique ability to digest cellulose, thanks to symbiotic microbes in their gut, is vital for breaking down plant material. As major decomposers and ecosystem engineers, termites enhance soil health, support biodiversity, and even inspire advances in green technology. While some species are pests, growing research into sustainable control methods shows promise, highlighting the incredible balance between their ecological importance and the innovative ways we can live alongside them. The Hymenoptera is a highly diverse order of insects, with more than 140,000 described extant species, fewer than the Coleoptera (beetles) and Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). If undescribed species are included, then the Hymenoptera may be the most speciose of all insect orders. Although the vast majority of Hymenoptera are solitary, eusociality has arisen independently multiple times across separate lineages. The truly social, or eusocial, insects are those characterised by a reproductive division of labour with a fertile queen and generally sterile workers. Social insects are among the most ecologically dominant and evolutionarily successful animals on Earth. Humans have been fascinated by and have had an intimate relationship with the honeybee for millennia. The earliest records date back to the Mesolithic, where in the Aran Caves in Spain, cave paintings, at least 8000 years old, show people collecting honey from wild bees high on cliffs. From Greek and Roman times, throughout the Medieval period, and the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, understanding of bees - honeybees in particular - ants and wasps gradually increased and became more scientific, culminating in the vast explosion of knowledge in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. However, it is unsurprising, given the immense diversity of Hymenoptera, that many questions remain, including some fundamental ones.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 168 pp. Englisch.
