Biston betularia

[MMM Secretariat]

Dear Colleagues,

a few weeks ago I try to get, through the list, some specimens of Biston
betularia of both morphs, white and dark. Our request evoked a very
stimulating discussion about the real role of natural selection in the
relative change of the two morphs frequency. We all appreciated very much
the interesting debate but .... unfortunately nobody seemed interested in
purchasing us the moths !   We still need them (desperately, I should now
add). Is there any hope to get them ? We have some budget for it.

Many thanks in advance and sorry for disturbing you again !
