To learn more about ants, their evolution, and the genetic studies conducted by Dr. Moreau and her colleagues, check out the following online resources:

FIELD MUSEUM ONLINE RESOURCES

The Moreau Ant Lab
Learn more about the research that Dr. Corrie Moreau's team engages in to discover what drives evolutionary diversity in ants. Together, her group of undergraduate interns, volunteers, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers tackle topics such as the symbioses ants have with other insects and plants, their gut-associated microbial community, and how biogeography, climate change, and invasive ants have and will continue to affect the evolutionary processes that generate and sustain high biological diversity in tropical ecosystems and other habitats. 

Field Museum Ant (Formicidae) Collection
The Field Museum ant collection is worldwide in scope and includes wet collections preserved in alcohol as well as pinned specimens. To learn more about these important collections and to search for specific ant species, please visit our arthropod database webpage.

The Pritzker DNA Laboratory
Discover our DNA laboratory that provides researchers with state-of-the-art equipment in molecular biology, enabling them to pursue the study of genetic diversity throughout the tree of life.

Encyclopedia of Life (EOL)
Get global access to all life on Earth through the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), which strives to make people more aware of the living planet and provide all existing knowledge about the world’s biodiversity through thousands of species pages that include text, images, maps, and videos.
