Many insects and arachnids are termed social because they exhibit forms of complex behaviour that involve cooperation in nest building, defending against attackers or rearing offspring. How, though, did cooperation evolve in so many different places? This book provides a comprehensive account of social behaviour in a wide array of insects and arachnids, and tests theories related to its evolution.
