The Ants of Northern Australia

by Alan Anderson (CSIRO)

A guide to monsoonal fauna

This book will help in the identification of the 1500 or more ant species occurring in monsoonal Australia, an area which encompasses much of the northern third of the continent.

Until this publication, no book has described the northern Australian ant fauna below genus level. Such a treatment is required to support and promote the numerous ecological studies involving ants, especially in the context of their use as bioindicators.

Professionals and paraprofessionals in the research sector and in land management departments and agencies will find this book particularly useful. It will also be of interest to high school teachers and students, and amateur naturalists.
