Long Description of the Book: The book "Urbanization Influences the Trophic Position Morphology and Colony Structure of Invasive African Bigheaded Ants in Taiwan" explores the impact of urbanization on the diet, body shape, and social organization of the invasive African bigheaded ant (Pheidole megacephala) in Taiwan. The authors conducted a comprehensive study of the ants' behavior, ecology, and physiology to gain a deeper understanding of how urbanization affects their biology and society. They found that urbanization has led to significant changes in the trophic position, morphology, and colony structure of the ants, which in turn affects their ability to adapt and thrive in new environments. The book begins by discussing the background and history of the African bigheaded ant, its origins, and its introduction to Taiwan. The authors then delve into the details of their research, describing the methods they used to study the ants, including field observations, laboratory experiments, and statistical analysis. They explore how urbanization has influenced the ants' diet, noting that the ants have adapted to feed on human-provided food sources such as sweet substances and proteins, leading to changes in their gut microbiota and metabolism. The authors also examine how urbanization has affected the ants' body shape and size, finding that the ants in urban areas are smaller and have a different body shape than those in natural environments.
