Prof. Abraham Hefetz is a chemical ecologist and evolutionary biologist. He is currently Emeritus Professor in the School of Zoology at Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel. His specific field of interest lies in the evolution of chemical communication (pheromones) in social insects. His lab engages with unraveling both the chemical nature of pheromones and the behavior that they elicit. He was awarded an Honorary Doctor from Sorbonne Paris Nord University, France, and the title “Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Academiques” from the French Ministry of Education. He has taught courses on social evolution and behavioral ecology to name a few and has published extensively on bumble bees, honeybees, and ants.

A publié en 2025 un livre sur le comportement des fourmis.

Abraham Hefetz, Ant Behavior, August 29, 2025, Academic Press, ISBN: , 130 €
Ant Behavior utilizes evolution as a framework for comprehending the social structure and conduct of ants. This book delves into the intricate workings of ant colonies, illustrating how they function not just as societies, but as cohesive "superorganisms." The text covers vital aspects such as colony structure, nest architecture, and the division of labor, emphasizing how ants collectively achieve their societal goals. In addition to exploring the colony dynamics, this comprehensive guide sheds light on reproductive competition, communication, and intra-colonial conflict. It explains the complex caste systems and details how ants engage in collective behavior to protect their colonies.
Drawing on the latest research, it provides readers with a deep understanding of ant sociality and evolutionary biology. The book is an essential resource for students and researchers in entomology and zoology, particularly those with an interest in social insects and evolutionary studies.
