About the author

Scott Richard Shaw is professor of entomology and Insect Museum curator at the University of Wyoming, Laramie. He has discovered more than one hundred and fifty insect species, including a number of parasitic wasps named after cultural icons such as David Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Ellen DeGeneres, and Shakira--the last of which, Aleiodes shakirae, causes its host caterpillar to contort as if belly dancing.

Chicago: University Of Chicago Press, 2014. Fine/Fine. From publisher: Dinosaurs, however toothy, did not rule the earth and neither do humans But what were and are the true potentates of our planet?
