Medical amputating behavior in ants

Sequence of illustration for a publication about ants (Camponotus floridanus) that amputate injured legs of nestmates to improve their survival. It was found that amputation of femur injuries increased survival, but not tibia injuries (E. T. Frank et. al. 2024).

Master Thesis:  Illustrating army ant Eciton burchellii  

Army ant Eciton burchellii is a key species in rainforests throughout South and Central America. In total over 300 species have been found to be associated with these ants. These illustrations show their complex natural history and interactions with other species, highlighting their importance in the rainforest. I spent six weeks in the rainforest of Costa Rica; studying, photographing, and drawing the ants. Using these field observations I developed these illustrations that can be used for scientific publication and publication. ​
