Pheidole of Tiputini Biodiversity Station (Amazonian Ecuador)

Here is a list of the species I have found so far at my study site, names link to photos of majors and minors. (Photos will open in new windows to allow side-by-side comparisons.)

Thanks to Stefan Cover and Gary Alpert for use of and help with the MCZ automontage system, and Kari Ryder Wilkie and Terry Erwin for providing some unique specimens.
