Parsing-- struggling to parse this, any help appreciated

Can anyone Parse this into its various components: Subject, predicate, object, complement, adverbial ?


and the various clause types?

Communication is supremely important for all social animals. It is the glue that links numbers of individuals into a larger whole. This is as true of ants and bees as it is of humans. Some of the characteristics of complex society (organised communities, a hierarchical structure, and a division of labour) that bespeak the importance of communication in human life appear to have parallels in the animal world.
