Advances in the Evolutionary Ecology of Termites
Termites are eusocial insects that live in colonies composed of hundreds to millions of individuals. Their colonies are mainly organized into reproductive and non-reproductive castes, which have specific tasks such as nest construction, foraging, reproduction, brood care, and colony defense. The evolution of the symbiotic association between termites and microorganisms allows them to decompose ingested lignocellulose from plant substrates (such as wood), including herbivore dung and soil humus, making them important insect decomposers that play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning by contributing to litter decomposition, soil formation, and nutrient cycling. On the other hand, termites have recently been classified as eusocial cockroaches, which have gained increasing attention in evolutionary studies to understand the transition to eusociality from subsocial wood roaches. This current growing interest in termite research calls for a collection dedicated to these fascinating insects.
Insectopedia
Los insectos son criaturas increíbles.

Comportamiento social de la fauna nativa de Chile
El comportamiento social representa un aspecto central de la conducta de los animales que se manifiesta a través del contacto físico y del uso de diversas señales de comunicación (ej., químicas, auditivas, visuales), lo que modula, entre otras, las interacciones asociadas al acceso a recursos críticos como alimento, apareamiento o refugio para evitar depredadores, y posibilitan grados variables de cuidado de las crías y distintas formas de cooperación. El comportamiento social ha enfatizado el uso de unas pocas especies de laboratorio, así como especies silvestres de regiones distintas de Chile y otras regiones vecinas. Este libro explora los estudios realizados en especies menos co...
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
