Invasive Ant Management Workshop
The International Invasive Ant Management Workshop (IIAMW) was organized by Dr. Ben Hoffman and held at the Tropical Ecosystems Research Centre in Darwin, Australia on April 27-29th, 2010. Attended by 54 people from 10 countries, this workshop facilitated networking among people from around the world involved in invasive ant management. It featured 36 presentations covering a wide variety of topics, from basic descriptions of ongoing ant management programs to the latest research into invasive ant biology and ecology, as well as technology being developed for ant management.
The Hawaiʻi Ant Lab hosts the presentations presented at this workshop.
