Applications are now open for the Ant Course, an intensive international field course focused on ant biology, systematics, and ecology.
Information on location, dates, instructors, and how to apply, can be found here: https://www.antcourse.org/
The Ant Course is a globally recognized training program that brings together students, researchers, and professionals to learn directly from leading myrmecologists through a combination of lectures, laboratory work, and hands-on field experience. Participants gain practical skills in ant identification, sampling, specimen curation, and the study of ant diversity, behavior, and their roles in ecosystems.
The course emphasizes:
- Ant phylogeny, diversity, and classification
- Social behavior and colony biology
- Field collection and biodiversity sampling methods
- Specimen preparation and identification techniques
The program is designed for a broad audience, including students, postdocs, professors, researchers, and motivated participants from diverse backgrounds in biology; prior specialization in ants is not required.
