myrmepropagandist on Nostr: If you write a paper about an insect that was named and sampled over 100 years ago ...
If you write a paper about an insect that was named and sampled over 100 years ago with no other papers written since you should be able to petition for it to be renamed to better fit the well documented behavior described in your paper. There is no incentive to revisit insects and it drives me nuts how they all got tagged like pokémon and never thought about again.
People are running DNA and that is nice but it won’t tell me what ants are doing!
