We are pleased to welcome Georg Fischer to the lab, our new Postdoctoral Scholar. Georg originally hails from Germany, but more recently was a postdoc at the California Academy of Sciences for several years. He is going to be taking a leading role in our projects on the biogeography, ecology, phylogeny, and systematics of the hyperdiverse ant genus Pheidole. Georg has worked particularly on the Afrotropical and Malagasy Pheidole, and will continue that work but also put it in context of the major Old World Pheidole radiations.
