This book concentrates particularly on ant species likely to be found in the garden or on a ramble in the countryside. The most striking aspect of ant biology is their social behaviour. This and its effects on the environment are considered.

About Gary J. Skinner
Dr Skinner did not develop his interest in biology until doing a degree in chemistry at university. This was translated into an interest in the insect world, the most abundant single group in nature. After carrying out research at Lancaster University on the interactions of Red Wood Ants with their environment he entered the teaching profession.
