Horn Book Review

Markle explains army ant colony behaviors--ants serving as crossing bridges or as shields for the colony, food gathering of weak and dying animals--and the distribution of functions across different colony members. Reproduction and survival are described in a clear and detailed manner; excellent close-up photos perfectly match the straightforward text. Reading list. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
