Brian L. Fisher, Benoit Guénard and Simon Robson (2015): Borneo, fANTastique!
ASIAN MYRMECOLOGY Volume 7, 171 – 174. Report on the ant course in Borneo
http://www.asian-myrmecology.org/public ... l-2015.pdf
Imagine that as a young student of myrmecology you could be given the opportunity to learn and talk about ants for ten full days; collect night and day in luxuriant tropical forests almost free of mosquitoes but not of leeches; attend dynamic lectures on the latest developments in ant taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, ecology, and behaviour of ants; and finally meet with colleagues who are as passionate about ants as you are. Sound like a dream? In fact, this was the reality for 30 students and 17 instructors who attended the 14th edition of Ant Course. The course was held this year (2014) from July 20th to July 31th in Maliau Basin, Sabah, in the core of Borneo. Attendees hailed from 20 countries and the six continents. Organizer Brian Fisher (California Academy of Sciences), with the support of Arthur Chung (Sabah Biodiversity Centre), Bakhtiar Yayha (Institute for Tropical Biology and Conservation, University of Malaysia) and Simon Robson (Centre for Tropical Biodiversity & Climate Change, James Cook University), decided to explore the rich ant fauna of Borneo. The occasion marked the course’s second run in Asia; Ant Course 2010 was held in Danum Valley, Sabah.

Die Zeitschrift Asian Myrmecology ist frei zugänglich. Der jetzt erschienene Band 7 kann hier eingesehen werden: http://www.asian-myrmecology.org/archiv ... -am07.html . Alle Beiträge konnen herunter geladen werden.
