This is a fascinating story about Todd Palmer’s work in Kenya on whistling thorns, their ants and their browsers.

Thank you James, you are right, is just cool! I read it last week in the BBC website and in NatGeo news, please check it out for the extended version of this interenting work!

Ecology eh? It’s just so intricate and complicated, sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees…

Thanks y’all! Am glad you liked the story–it was a lot of fun to work on…

All the best, Todd

i feel like the rock and roll blog writer who has just realized the rockstar just made a comment. very good work Todd. should you ever be in the neighborhood do stop in and if you ever know a research assistant or anyone else interested in a day or two of ant survey work (well pay) we would love to learn a bit more about our ant-fauna on tumaren. cheers, james
