He is often considered to be the greatest figure in British myrmecology.

In a mix of research and review articles, all fields of myrmecology are covered.

Myrmecology for a list of other notable myrmecologists.

Wilson is known as the "father of sociobiology" and his biological specialty is myrmecology.

His biological specialty is myrmecology, the study of ants, on which he is considered to be the world's leading authority.

In addition to astronomy, Shapley held a lifelong interest in myrmecology, the study of ants.

These are observations and anecdotes not about the ants, but about the scientists who study them, about the personal experience of myrmecology.

Of course, this feast of cinematic myrmecology is no accident; behind the scenes competition preceded these two meticulously detailed computer animations.

He was described by Horace Donisthorpe as "the father of British myrmecology" (the branch of entomology dealing with ants).

Thanks to a unique chromosomal been genetically isolated in 1986 and in 1991 the Australian myrmecology Robert Taylor described it as a separate species.

The word myrmecology was coined by William Morton Wheeler (1865-1937) although human interest in the life of ants goes back further with numerous ancient folk references.

Fergus J. O'Rourke (1923-2010) was an Irish scientist whose publications included contributions to myrmecology and medical entomology.

Memorable for championing the renaming of the genus Lasius after him as Donisthorpea, and for discovering new species of beetles and ants, he is often considered the greatest figure in British myrmecology.

The editors proudly proclaim their effort as the birth of applied myrmecology, a subject that deals with the voluminous literature on pestiferous ants and attempts to bring together authorities on problem species in a modern forum.

While I do not recommend Applied Myrmecology: A World Perspective to the average armchair naturalist, it is an indispensable reference for those working with fire ants and leafcutting ants, especially in applied research.

The new version is called the Xtreme Ant Farm, and it looks nothing like its rectangular forebear, which is fondly remembered by many baby boomers for introducing them to the joys of myrmecology (the study of ants).

And now comes a book that, while it is intended to be an authoritative account of the study of ants (myrmecology), also makes the intricacies and fascinations of all 8,804 species of the single family (Formicidae) accessible to the average reader.

In myrmecology and forest ecology, a devil's garden (Kichwa: Supay chakra, Spanish: Jardin del Curupira) is a large stand of trees in the Amazon Rainforest consisting almost exclusively of a single species, Duroia hirsuta.

In most cases the body of knowledge will concern some delimited field of human interest or endeavour (for example, hydrogeology, logology, ichthyology, phytosociology, or myrmecology), while a "universal" encyclopedia can be referred to as a compendium of all human knowledge.

His book remains an important early record in ant observation and the science of myrmecology, even though he only recognised a handful of species, which he categoried as "hill ants", "jet ants", "red ants", "common yellow ants", and "small black ants".

Apparently one of the common rites of passage in myrmecology is the measuring of ants, in particular the heads of ants, which can be done by holding an ant in forceps steady under a stereomicroscope and judging its size with a scale built into the scope's eye piece.
