Pumping and Mud-puddling, Research Request.

[Robert L. Chehey]

Leppers,

I have asked several members of this list, off-line, for references on
Puddling or Pumping in butterflies or moths and gotten the following
references:

Adler, P. H. 1982. Soil- and puddle-visiting habits of moths. J. Lep. Soc.
  	36:161-173.

Adler, P.H. and D.L. Pearson. 1982. Why do male butterflies visit mud
puddles?
	Canadian Journal of Zoology 60:322-325.

Clench, H. K. 1957, The 'pumping' of moths at water. Lep. News 11:18-21.

Downes, J. A. 1973. Lepidoptera feeding at puddle-margins, dung, and
  carrion. J. Lep. Soc. 27:89-98.

Hessel, J. H. 1966. Fluid recycling in _Agathymus aryxna_. J. Lep. Soc. 20:
   242.

If anyone out there knows of other citations, especially in non-lep. or
general ent. publications, please send them to me.  I will post the results.
Being, primarily, a microbiologist, I would be especially interested in
articles about active membrane adsorbance and active transport in gut
membranes, of mono- and divalent ions, or small organic moieties.

Thank you in advance.
