Antmaps.org is a website featuring a series of interactive maps showing where each of the world's 15,000-plus known ant species and subspecies roam. The overview shows the total number of species found in each country or region.
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong in China and Japan’s Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology developed antmaps.org as a tool for professional and amateur myrmecologists—ant geeks—to quickly see the geographical distribution of ant species as gleaned from thousands of scientific publications. That information is now being compiled into a database that will also be linked to antmaps.org entries. The website has been available to ant researchers for several weeks but was formally announced to the media today in Hong Kong.
