racial variation in patterning

[Laurel Godley]

Kevin,

I know a retired Stanford University professor who has spent time comparing 
wing pattern variations in Euphydryas chalcedona, possibly for subspecies 
classification.  She has some 30 years worth of data though, so I'm not 
certain her techniques for comparison would be considered very modern by 
today's standards.  If nothing else pans out for you, let me know and I will 
check with her.  I've been rearing some E. chalcedona myself and am likely 
to become intersted in the topic in due time.  So any additional responses 
you receive would be of interest.

Best wishes... Laurel
