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

Ant Types in German Collections
This week, I received an email from Christiana Klingenberg about the launch of the new FoCol website, which aims to have all taxonomic information on German ant types (about 3000 entries of some 1500 type taxa and more then 17.000 photos) available online by the end of 2007 (the page says 2006 at one point but I think it is a typo as 2007 is stated everywhere else). Right now there are lists of specimens and information about the project in general. I think if you actually want to see images right now, you need to contact Christiana. Anyway, looks like it will be a great resource. Check it out here.
Update: Whoops! I misspelled the project name. It is FoCol, not FoCal.
