“Ants are amazing because they’re way more diverse than most people realize,” said UC Davis entomology doctoral candidate Jill Oberski. “Some are huge, some are tiny, some are blue or green and a lot of them have crazy spines. There are ants that run farms with crops and livestock, and ants that can build bridges and survive floods and ants that live in the highest treetops and never touch the ground.”
That’s just some of the information to be showcased at the UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Month program from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 13, when three doctoral students in the Phil Ward lab, UC Davis department of entomology and nematology, take the helm.
