Update from the Adams Lab
Cody Cardenas, an undergraduate in Rachelle Adams' lab, has been awarded the 2016 URO Summer Research Fellowship to work on a taxonomy project. Cody will be looking at morphological and genetic characteristics of Trachymyrmex fungus-gardening ant specimens to determine if the previously synonymized T. zeteki is actually two species: T. zeteki and T. balboai.
