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.
An identification guide to the Lordomyrma species of the Fiji Islands. This key is developed using Lucid Phoenix.
