A major component of the Fiji Ants Project is the development of user-friendly identification guides to the ant genera and species that occur on the Fiji Islands.  The development of diagnostic keys is a difficult process, requiring considerable investments of time to learning the often subtle morphological differences that separate a species from its close relatives.  Fortunately, recent advances in internet-based software are allowing taxonomists to more easily create multimedia identification guides that can be accessed and understood by a wide audience around the globe.  The diagnostic keys presented on this site were developed using a variety of programs developed by Lucid Technologies.
