1. How to get contact to us

Japanese Ant Database Group is not a fixed organization but an voluntary group which is gradually changing its composition under Dr. Imai's leadership. You may get contact to us using the e-mail address. However, it may take time to respond because of the nature of our group. Especially about the question relating to the academic field, we will try to do our best to repsond. However, in case that we do not know the scientific or cultural background of the person who gives us a query, it become hard to answer. Thus it will be welcomed that you will give us your personal identities (age, where you live, educational background etc.) with your query.
