sample Rasopone guide
An example of the “bird guide” identification tool for the ant genus Rasopone developed by researchers Michael Branstetter, Ph.D., and John Longino, Ph.D. Shown here are a distribution map, face view, and lateral view of the petiole of Rasopone pluviselva, R. minuta, and yet-to-be-named species R. JTL043 and R. JTL048. On the maps, red dots are sites with genetic sequence data. Red boxes are type locality.
