Life and matter below the width of a hair.

Contact and feedback

The address for everything is contact@antscellsandatoms.com. There is no form; the same address sits at the foot of every page. No reply time is promised.

What is welcome

  • Errors. A number, a name, a caption or a credit that looks wrong. Give the entry's address and the sentence or figure. Corrections are recorded at the foot of the entry and on the corrections page.
  • Newer measurements and name changes. A paper that measures something more precisely than the source an entry cites, or a change of scientific name in GBIF or the Catalogue of Life. Please include the paper or the database record.
  • Leads on openly licensed micrographs. A photograph or micrograph of a named species under CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA, with the source page and the license line. Every image on this site must come with a license that can be recorded image by image.
  • Reuse questions. Anything the image and data rights page does not answer.

What this address cannot help with

  • Identifying a creature from a photograph or a description. This site does not identify species from images.
  • Pathogens, infections, bites, stings, allergies or pest control.
  • Doses or effects of any drug or supplement.
  • Which microscope or camera to buy.
  • Help with collecting or culturing samples.

Messages on these topics will not get a substantive answer. If a message concerns someone feeling unwell, a bite or sting, or a suspected poisoning, please contact local medical services or a poison information centre; nothing here can judge such a case.
