We hope to examine a world-wide sample of populations collected from diverse environments. If you have a recently (2000 or later) collected population of reasonable size that you'd be willing to share, please get in touch. Some regions are already represented in our collection, but we would be particularly interested in populations from the following regions: USA north of Arizona and west of the the Mississippi River Canada Europe outside of France Asia outside of India Pacific Oceania We are looking forward to hear from you. Kindest regards, Jean-Claude -- ____________________________________ Jean-Claude Walser Department of Organismal Biology & Anatomy The University of Chicago Chicago IL 60637 USA Telephone: (773) 834-0467 Fax: (773) 702-0037 Email: jcwalser@uchicago.edu .
