Technical article by @limariaph et al. and #openaccess too!
The authors developed and tested a new setup for keeping ants or similar sized insects in small groups. It is quick to build, cheap and with reusable materials.

Our setup to work with ants and similar-sized insects is published in @InsSociaux (online version) @Dr_AntzZ @Docteur_Drey. It's cheap and easy to build and most important, very useful for long-term experiments (up to 270 days!) link.springer.com/article/10…

¡¡¡¡¡ Spoiler Alert !!!!! You won't need to worry anymore about the water supply, accidental deaths in the water reservoirs or adding extra stress to your ants/insects during the experiments. You will save time and the ants/insects will be safe!

The “Formigas do Brasil" course has allowed aspiring Latin researchers to achieve the dream of becoming myrmecologists. However, the course was severely affected by the federal policy of cutting resources. Please, contribute and spread our campaign!
