Lepidoptera seminar

[Scholtens, Brian G.]

I wanted to post this announcement to the group in case anyone is interested or knows someone who might be interested.  The Humboldt station (Eagle Hill) is a great place.  The meals alone make the week worthwhile!  Feel free to contact me (scholtensb at cofc.edu) or the station directly for more information.

Thanks,

Brian Scholtens

ANNOUNCING ...
The 2004 advanced lepidoptera seminar at the Humboldt Institute on the
coast of eastern Maine!

MACROLEPIDOPTERA: IDENTIFICATION AND SYSTEMATICS
JUNE 6 - 12, 2004
   This course will emphasize the identification of macrolepidopteran
families and genera and techniques used for preparing and studying
lepidoptera including genitalic dissection. The major families of
macrolepidoptera will be introduced using specimens. Day activities will
include lectures, specimen study, specimen preparation and field trips.
Trips are planned for most nights to observe and collect moths for study
and learn field identification characters.
   DR. BRIAN SCHOLTENS (scholtensb at cofc.edu) received his PhD from the
University of Michigan in 1990. He has been on the faculty at the College
of Charleston in Charleston, SC since 1992, where he is an associate
professor. He has also taught "The Biology of Insects" for more than 10
years at the University of Michigan Biological Station. His research
interests are the conservation biology of threatened and endangered insects
and the systematics and faunistics of Lepidoptera. He is currently involved
in projects working on a threatened locust species on the dunes of the
Great Lakes, an endangered water beetle in the Great Lakes region, and a
major survey of all species in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where
he is one of the coordinators of the Lepidoptera survey effort.
