 The Ants of Africa
H(enry) W(alter) Bates, born 8 Feb 1825, died 16 Feb 1892, was a naturalist and explorer whose demonstration of the operation of natural selection in animal mimicry (the imitation by a species of other life forms or inanimate objects), published in 1861, gave firm support to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
The earliest of his own reports of personal collections in Kairouan is recorded as January 1906 (Santschi, 1907), although Forel (1905b) described Monomorium santschii [as Wheeleria santschii] as collected by Santschi at Kairouan on 19 August 1903, and Solenopsis santschii as collected in a Kairouan street on 1 August 1903.
Santschi (1910c) describes Weiss as being a member of an expedition to study sleeping sickness ("maladie du sommeil") in French Congo, spending a year in the Brazzaville region (Mindouli, M'Bomou), from where he found a good number of new species and numerous species not previously known from that part of the Congo Basin.

 Global Deserts Outlook
Since the early days of the last century, if not before, desert research has held a special attraction for those who are interested in subjects ranging from geology to biology and from culture to religion all related to the extremes of desert environments.
Some of the research efforts were small, one-person efforts, such as those of Felix Santschi who is identified as introducing to the scientific world sensory ecology based on his work with desert ants and ant navigation in Tunisia in the 1940s (Wehner 1990).
Another was P.A. Buxton who first drew attention to the paradox of animal coloration in deserts and of so many fl rather than the expected white beetles in the Palestinian desert (Buxton 1923).
