- I was able to get a copy of the new Wasmannia Key, which rocks and which I cannot wait to use.
- I was able to send emails to a bunch of the people I wanted to in order to hopefully remind them that I am still hoping to see my specimens soon. Not sure how successful I was, but at least I tried. Most of them are at the Ant Course in Australia at the moment, so perhaps when they get back.
- I was going to take a look at my Aztecas but instead ended up cleaning and reorganizing the lab, which was a very good thing.
- Most importantly, I finished my probe paper. Yay! So now I can get back to actually looking at ants again. Huzzah!
In which I will be keeping track (for my own benefit) of my daily progress in the identification of the ant fauna of Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuador, the analysis of that data, and the pursuit of my PhD. And (for the benefit of everyone else) I hope to provide helpful information on ants, taxonomy, database management, identification, and other assorted endeavors. Cheers
