Announcement: passing of Prof. Christian Peeters

The editors of Asian Myrmecology regret to announce the passing one of our editors, Prof. Christian Peeters.

Christian was internationally renowned for his enthusiasm, energy and passion for research on ants. He was a great traveller and networker and helped mentor many young researchers involved in myrmecology all over the globe. He had a unique way of thinking and a knack for using his broad knowledge of ants to develop general questions into multifaceted research themes.

His contributions to our knowledge of ants through science and public outreach were extensive. As well as his encyclopaedic knowledge of natural history, his research spanned the evolution, behaviour and morphology of ants and helped define the body of knowledge on which researchers depend today.

As well as acting as an editor of Asian Myrmecology, he contributed multiple papers to the pages of our journal and frequently acted as a referee.

He will be sorely missed as a colleague and a friend.

Announcement: passing of Ass. Prof. Dr Bakhtiar Effendi Bin Yahya

The editors of Asian Myrmecology deeply regret the passing of one of our editorial staff, Ass. Prof. Dr Bakhtiar Effendi Bin Yahya.

Dr Bakhtiar completed his PhD at Kagoshima University (Japan) and wrote his dissertation on the ant genus Myrmicaria in Southeast Asia. He returned to Borneo, where he later became Associate Professor at the Institut Biologi Tropika dan Pemuliharaan (IBTP) of the Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in Kota Kinabalu.

Bakhtiar was a key member of Asian Myrmecology and ANeT, and supported the journal through both administration at the University Malaysia Sabah, and through duties as an editor and reviewer. Ant research in Borneo has suffered a great loss.

He will be sadly missed. We mourn with his family, friends and colleagues.


Passing of Ass. Prof. Dr Bakhtiar Effendi Bin Yahya
