To all interested Lepidopterists:
I am undertaking a project on the genetic basis of industrial melanism in
the peppered moth, Biston betularia. I am interested in obtaining frozen
fresh-caught adults for DNA-based analyses, particularly from populations
in which the melanic form is present, in either Europe or N. America. If
you are finding melanic peppered moths in your traps I would be very
interested in hearing from you. I will pay for all shipping costs and can
provide containers for shipping the frozen material. Thank you very much.
