Hymenoptera Authors Database

This database includes the entire references used to describe all existing ant taxa from 1758 to the present. It is part of the Hymenoptera Name Server (HNS) and thus also includes the references for over 110,000 Hymenoptera names recorded in this database.

An increasing number of publications are available online, either as single pdf documents (listed at the end of the citation), or as single pdf pages linked directly from the taxon citations within the HNS.

Books

The table of contents, including links to downloads, is now available for:

• Ants: Standard Methods for Measuring and Monitoring Biodiversity
• Introducción a las Hormigas de la Región Neotropical
• Advances in Ant Systematics (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Homage to E.O. Wilson - 50 Years of Contributions

About the pdf documents on this digital library
