- I met Donat Agosti and Roberto Keller, who were both visiting the ant room. Roberto mentioned that he read my blog, which was super cool and made me feel like a rock star!. Donat talked with Gary about databasing and mentioned to me the importance of including unique identifiers of specimens when publishing papers. Not something I had thought about previously, but a good thought.
- I took some photos (Probolomyrmex, Prionopelta, Carebarella, Acropyga, Tranopelta).
- I received my new updated version of my database on Mantis 2.0beta courtesy of Piotr Naskrecki.
- I received my Solenopsis (all sorted out!) from Stefan. Yay! I will talk more about the Solenopsis in another post.
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
