| Abstract: | Unlike most scientific literature, the literature of taxonomy never goes out of date. Ant biologists, especially those conducting systematic research, must regularly refer to papers written a century or more ago. This problem of access to the primary taxonomic literature has attained a new level of urgency because, as habitats are increasingly threatened and extinction rates accelerate, ant systematic and ecological research needs to be encouraged now more than ever. Database contains 8606 references and approximately 4000 pdf's. [Information of the supplier, modified] |
