Insect

Every dark element of a mighty human empire building has long been perfected by the insect world. In NGC’s Insect Wars, the violent existences of insect empires are explored and the sometimes brutal battlefield tactics, ingenious defensive strategies andstruggles for power between empires are revealed. Go into the inner sanctums of the world’s mightiest insect empires and catch a rare and close-up glimpse at the world of invertebrate power not often seen by the naked eye.

This book discusses the effects of both natural (e.g., temperature, humidity, and lack of food) and man-induced stressors (e.g., pollution) on insects. Insect neurohormones and metabolism are emphasized, although all aspects of insect biology are examined.
