Humans have long been fascinated by ants. While not necessarily brightly coloured or beautiful, ants display some remarkable characteristics that are almost unique in the animal world. They live in intricately organized societies, made up of individuals that cooperate, communicate, and divide up daily tasks. They display amazing ingenuity when it comes to building nests and other structures, finding supplies, or even exploiting other members of the animal kingdom.They are capable too of aggression and violence, of disturbing the apparent peace of their colonies and of sudden fratricidal or matricidal strife. In short, the lives of ants are among the most fascinating in the natural world.This is an account of those lives - looking at the many species of ants around the world, explaining the secret of their huge ecological success, examining the remarkable and varied behaviours that ants exhibit, and tying in molecular biology, genetics, and even cutting-edge developments in robotics, to shed light on what makes ants unique.

Les fourmis sont fascinantes. Elles savent tout faire : se défendre, combattre, cultiver des champignons, élever des insectes, fabriquer des médicaments, protéger leur environnement, communiquer entre elles. Elles sont de toutes les formes. Certaines ont des épines, d’autres un long cou ou un corps tout plat. Leur taille varie, les plus grosses, de 3 cm, contiendraient dans leur tête une colonie entière des plus petites. Elles sont partout, de l’équateur au cercle Arctique, du Sahara à la Sibérie, des tropiques aux régions tempérées. Elles se comptent par millions de milliards. Et si ces insectes étaient les grands vainqueurs de l’évolution ?Laurent Keller, spécialiste de renommée mondiale, et Élisabeth Gordon nous expliquent dans ce livre tout ce que nous savons des fourmis. Laurent Keller est professeur d’écologie évolutionniste à l’Université de Lausanne.Élisabeth Gordon est journaliste scientifique à L’Hebdo.
