Research for the project was made possible by funding from Harvard’s Green Fund, administered by evolutionary biologist E. O. Wilson, and the National Science Foundation. In addition to Moreau, researchers on the study also included Roger Vila and S. Bruce Archibald from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, as well Hessel Professor of Biology Naomi E. Pierce. Charles D. Bell from Florida State University was also a member of the research team...
...team co-led by Corrie S. Moreau, a doctoral candidate in organismic and evolutionary biology at Harvard, has published the first large-scale study of ants based on DNA to make an ant family tree, showing how different ant species are related. A little known subterranean subfamily, Leptanillinae, was discovered to be the most ancient relative of modern-day ants. “Until our study, the phylogenetic relationships of the ants was not resolved,” wrote Moreau in an e-mail...
...results support the hypothesis that angiosperm forests and their associated insect herbivores expanded the range of ecological opportunities available to ants, leading to their diversification and dominance in almost all terrestrial ecosystems,” said Moreau...
...killings might well have fed the missionary impulse by itself. ?It brought [modern day] martyrdom alive,? says Scott Moreau, a professor of missiology at Wheaton College. ?It made it real.? But, in fact, two accelerants came into play. The first magnifier was a favorable story in LIFE magazine about the deaths with photos by a well-known war photographer, Cornell Capa. (The killings were also covered by TIME (You may note that in the archive article this tribe is referred to as Aucas). At that point, says Moreau, evangelicalism, which had only recently begun to separate from a more hard...

In pouty Brigitte Bardot, in statuesque peasant Sophia Loren, in the knowing rapture of Jeanne Moreau, Americans saw ideals of glamour more complex than Jayne Mansfield. Even Bergman gave you bosoms along with the angst. These films were invitations to European decadence; each American became a Henry James innocent abroad, primed for education and debauchery...
