My labmate Noah came back from this year's Ant Course with a wonderful treasure trove of skills and experience that I intend to mercilessly use for my own advantage. He also came back with a copy of Brian Fisher and Stefan Cover's long awaited Ants of North America: A Guide to the Genera. It is beautiful! It includes keys to 73 genera, 180 color images, and a nice glossary of useful terms. Plus, it comes in a handy portable size and appears sturdy enough to last through a couple of field seasons, at least. You can pre-order them from Amazon for $23.07. You should go do that right now. Git.
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
