Myrmecology is the scientific study of ants, a branch of entomology.
Myrmecology is the branch of entomology dealing with ants.
This early wonder at such great industry in such a small creature resulted in the birth of Myrmecology, and the discovery that many of the features of the way of life of ants are similar to our own, and the extent of the great diversity of species which belong to the ant kingdom.
Myrmecology, the study of ants, is a branch of Entomology, the study of insects
Three names that are noteworthy in the beginnings of myrmecology in the late 18th and early 19th centuries are Linne, Fabricius, and Latreille.
This 'bible' of myrmecology contains over 700 pages of tables, figures, text, and some of the most beautiful and captivating colour photographs of ants.
Myrmecology is such a specialized discipline that most (in fact, nearly all) universities do not offer myrmecology courses.
Most universities don't have people trained in myrmecology on their teaching staff, and don't have a student body with enough interest to sustain regular courses.
They might not teach a myrmecology course, but the people who work on ants can be a great resource for independent projects on ants, or just for good advice on ant studies generally.

Myrmecology because leadership at any level is in interaction with of a growing 6 billion people related by body, chemical, and environmental ecology in a shared sociology, economy, and strengthening politic.
What allot of Deep Myrmecology comes down to is from a base of assumptions from Gary Varner's Biocentric Individualism in reference to both animal rights and counter eco-centric perspective hated by both other-than-Caucasian philosophies and animal rights theory.

Not to be outdone in the "huge book dedicated to myrmecology" category (if you're not sure what I'm talking about, then you haven't ever picked up Wilson and Holldobler's "The Ants"), Dr. Walt Tschinkel has penned a tome dedicated to...

I would really appreciate it if someone could post a link to a college in the Arizona/New Mexico region that offers myrmecology, as the time is coming for me to apply, and I need to start asking questions.
I wish it were possible to have myrmecology courses at Universities, but for the most part it is just too specialized a discipline.
They could definitely give you the inside scoop on doing myrmecology at their respective universities, and since you are interested in ants you will want to make the connection anyway.
It includes files found on the internet, ant journals, pictures etc. The Projects list some of my observations, reports and other undertakings.
The Compendia are something that comes in very handy and they are my best personal contribution to myrmecology so far - at least I consider them to be.
I hope I can spur some interest in myrmecology here in Slovenia as well.

However, studies have and are continuing to include a number of other genera.
The myrmecology project is more goal oriented than the other projects and much of the research is directed towards the development of new management strategies for the Imported Fire Ant (IFA) through a more through knowledge of the biology of this genera.
Much of the research over the last 20 years has involved the recognition of, movement of, and distribution of food in IFA colonies; the behavior of fire ants and the role of several pheromones in their biology and physiological studies.
But let me explain how the book came into my hands.
For decades I had been an amateur myrmecologist; myrmecology had been my hobby.
My study of ants went back to a time when the science was just developing into something like a systematic survey; and, I being by training a classicist, it had taken its starting-point from such ancient observations as those of Pliny and Aristotle.
