Köp båda 2 för 1338 kr'... this book is to be recommended to any scientist with a specific interest in wood ants, be it from an academic or a more applied perspective.' Konrad Fiedler, Myrmecological News
'The volume is a great synthesis of the decades of studies on wood ants and I enjoyed reading it very much. ... I think Wood Ant Ecology and Conservation is a very timely volume, especially in the light of the potential threats that wood ants face with more intensive use of forests and grasslands in temperate and boreal regions. I am sure the book will inspire more comparative work on this fascinating group of ants.' Heike Feldhaar, The Quarterly Review of Biology
'... it contains a wealth of data so that I would recommend to every wood ant researcher to purchase it.' Peter Boer, Entomologische Berichten
