Omschrijving
"Based on her many years of work with two ant colonies, one in an arid desert and one in a lush tropical forest, Deborah M. Gordon has written a detailed, incisive account of the differences in their collective behaviours, and the extent to which behavioural patterns are influenced by their environment."---David M. Gascoigne, Travels With Birds

Gascoigne, Travels With Birds
"An expansive view of the theory of collective behavior. . . . [The Ecology of Collective Behavior] goes beyond earlier models proposed in evolution and ecology (e.g., individual versus group selection). Gordon proposes new and productive avenues for studying the complex interactions of organisms and environment.-Choice"
