Скачать или смотреть Peter Sherman - Slave Raiding Ants of Prescott

400 million years is a long time. Long enough for insects to produce some of the most bizarre and fascinating relationships found in nature. Peter Sherman will guide us through such a story when he illuminates the natural history of slave-making ants, their victims and a macabre parasite that haunts them both. Come prepared to be surprised.

Dr. Peter Sherman is a systems ecologist studying the world's most complex ecosystem: the tropical lowland rainforest. In addition, Peter has published scientific articles on the slave-raiding ants of the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona, the economics of web building in spiders of upstate New York, the distributions of alligators in Texas swamps and effects of the giant land crabs on plant diversity in Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park.

Peter received his Ph.D. in rainforest systems ecology from the University of Michigan in 1997. He has been a professor and Chair of the Master of Arts Program in Environmental Studies at Prescott College since 2005.
