Disappearing taxonomists

Here is a list of ant taxonomists - a group with 11K+ species so far -
including all those living and producing ant taxonomic work (accessible
directly through the web page), or those few building up extensive web
sites, or students at or close to PhD-level with extensive knowledge of
ant taxonomy or working on molecules.

It is an amazing number, and almost all are on email, thus information
can easily be exchanged.
