It has been a bit quiet around here, so I though I'd liven it up.

I would like to be able to take pictures of small ants at least as good as those on your ants of North Carolina website. I've read Alex Wild's pointers on the subject, of course, but I'd be interested in your experience learning to photograph ants, what equipment you use, etc.]]> Diverse Subjects Fri, 30 Jan 2009 18:21:23 GMT http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/benoit-s-photo-techniques-t57.htm#122 http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/benoit-s-photo-techniques-t57.htm http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/giant-ant-sculptures-t33.htm James C.

Check out this article, and be sure to view the picture gallery, on giant ant sculptures in Dubai. http://www.xpress4me.com/life/reviews/events/20006389.html
Ms. Cochran is an artist after my own heart. Now if I only had the wealth of a Dubai businessman, I'd order a set of these for my front lawn!]]> Diverse Subjects Sun, 23 Mar 2008 15:26:36 GMT http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/giant-ant-sculptures-t33.htm#53 http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/giant-ant-sculptures-t33.htm http://formicidae.darkbb.com/diverse-subjects-f12/luis-lopes-da-fonseca-t54.htm Luís Maria Good morning, I am from Portugal and I live near Lisbon at Oeiras (20 km from Lisbon) and I work at the National Agronomical Research Institute (INIA) and my research field is Development of Berries Production Technologies mainly for off-season production. Since always I am interested in ants. "Moderation" I have modified the message.

Indeed, like Benoit, I am french. And french people are well known for their ability to speek... french. But I promize I will try to improve my english skills ! I won't talk about my expertness, cause I am far to be an expert. But I have allways been interested in the study of myrmecology, and spent a long time observing the behaviours of french species.

I'm currently working on my MS in zoology at NCSU with Rob R Dunn. My ant-related focus is myrmecochory, but my interest has broadened as I've learned more and more about ants and worked around a lot of folks who are really passionate myrmecologists. Right now my focus is on ant-plant interactions in the Eneabba sandplains of southwestern Australia. My masters project highlights the role two ...

One of them would be for each member to present each other to the rest of the group. This will help each member to know what are the expertness, the skills and interests of other members. So far, the logic wants that I start. My name is Benoit Guénard, I'm French (more exactly Breton) and a PhD student at North Carolina State University since 2007. I did a part ...
