During his career, Evans described over 900 species and authored more than a dozen books, both technical and popular, on a wide range of entomological and natural history subjects. Upon his death in 2002, he left behind an unfinished manuscript, intended as an update (though not a revision) of his classic 1966 work, \u003ci\u003eThe Comparative Ethology and Evolution of the Sand Wasps\u003c\/i\u003e. Kevin O'Neill, Evans's former student and coauthor, has completed and enlarged Evans's manuscript to provide coverage of all sand-wasp tribes in Evan's earlier book. The result is a tribe-by-tribe, species-by-species review of studies of the Bembicinae that have appeared over the last four decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sand Wasps: Natural History and Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e already has been hailed by specialists as a new bible for those working on solitary wasps and an essential reference for scientists more broadly interested in insect behavioral evolution.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47612629581975,"sku":"9780674024625","price":9037.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780674024625.webp?v=1775079268","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-sand-wasps-natural-history-and-behavior-9780674024625","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
