antbase: OA ant publications: Neotropical Ants issue
http://antbase.blogspot.com/2012/02/oa-ant-publications-neotropical-ants.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. OA ant publications: Neotropical Ants issue. Published in the revitalized Psyche. 70 articles published only this year) a special edition Advances in Neotropical Myrmecology. Including the description of some very unusual ants like the second species of Tatuidris. Despite all of this, I am always delighted to see publications from the sprawling Neotropical ant community, and that ants are used in environmental and especially monitoring studies. Thanks for this hint. With ack...

antbase: Nomenclaturial (In-)Consistency in Higher Classification of Ants
http://antbase.blogspot.com/2015/05/nomenclaturial-in-consistency-in-higher.html
Wednesday, May 06, 2015. Nomenclaturial (In-)Consistency in Higher Classification of Ants. You would think that nomenclature is something pretty obvious and objective derived from and built on top of the scientific discoveries of the relationships of taxa. Furthermore you would expect that scientists have some sort of consistency in this conduct. Let's see how this applies to two recent studies by Phil Ward, Sean Brady, Ted Schultz and Brian Fisher on army ants. That are listed in the IUCN RedList. This ...

antbase: Specimen collection
http://antbase.blogspot.com/2012/02/specimen-collection.html
Monday, February 27, 2012. Even tough I would have preferred a detailed list of specimen information, his list at least includes geo-coordinates (I assume from a GPS in the field) which allows to derive all the rest of the information. The good thing - though demanding some time - is that there is a wet collection as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). With acknowledgments to Peter Boer for correcting the identification].

antbase: June 2010
http://antbase.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 10, 2010. A new Asphinctopone and way of publishing. Peter Hawkes just published the description. Of a new species of Asphinctopone, A. pilosa. This is an interesting read and shows some ways on how to present taxonomic data. The missing point is, that the data of this analyis is not available nor in the present publication nor GBIF.
