About this website

takesoverworld.jpg

This website is developed  to archive my research on ants.

 

During my PhD course at the University of Tokyo (2005-2011), I studied the ecology and control of the invasive Argentine ant.

 

After graduation, I launched a study on the ecology of the trap-jaw ant.
