Myrmecological News

Myrmecological News is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Myrmecological News rather than just read about it. In short: Myrmecological News (previous name: Myrmecologische Nachrichten) is an independent, international, non-profit, peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal devoted to all aspects of ant research. In a mix of research and review articles, all fields of myrmecology are covered.

Key takeaways

Myrmecological News belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Myrmecological News to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Myrmecological News from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Myrmecological News (previous name: Myrmecologische Nachrichten) is an independent, international, non-profit, peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal devoted to all aspects of ant research. In a mix of research and review articles, all fields of myrmecology are covered. It was relaunched in 2004.

Publisher The Austrian Society of Entomofaunistics (ÖGEF) is a scientific non-profit organisation promoting entomofaunistic research, with a geographic emphasis on Austria and the Palaearctic. Other publications: Beiträge zur Entomofaunistik.

Abstracting and indexing Myrmecological News is indexed and abstracted in the Web of Science (Impact Factor 2011: 2.644, Rank 5/85 in category Entomology), The Zoological Record, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Myrmecological News

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Myrmecological News claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Myrmecological News before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Myrmecological News ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Myrmecological News

In research: Myrmecological News appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Myrmecological News in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Myrmecological News is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 2004, Continuous journals, Entomology journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Myrmecological News outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
