Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
Ant Behavior utilizes evolution as a framework for comprehending the social structure and conduct of ants. This book delves into the intricate workings of ant colonies, illustrating how they function not just as societies, but as cohesive ""superorganisms."" The text covers vital aspects such as colony structure, nest architecture, and the division of labor, emphasizing how ants collectively achieve their societal goals. In addition to exploring the colony dynamics, this comprehensive guide sheds light on reproductive competition, communication, and intra-colonial conflict. It explains the complex caste systems and details how ants engage in collective behavior to protect their colonies.
Drawing on the latest research, it provides readers with a deep understanding of ant sociality and evolutionary biology. The book is an essential resource for students and researchers in entomology and zoology, particularly those with an interest in social insects and evolutionary studies.
