I have linked the special collection of recent research published through the Insects Systematics and Diversity journal of the Entomological Society of America. I am aware many if not most of you are unfamiliar with reading published papers on phylogenomic research and some of the science presented may be daunting. It will offer a good opportunity to see how good science and research are applied to understand relationships between species and genera and even subfamilies of Formicidae. I think those of you who have yet to determine a course of study for university or are still debating one's academic career path but are considering an area of entomology will find this recent research intriguing and perhaps interesting enough to consider genomics and phylogenomics as a possible academic and professional path. I was introduced to it during my master's program at the University of Tennessee and hope to continue to pursue research using genomics. Enjoy!
