looking for Oeneis melissa specimens

[Angela Gradish]

Hi everyone

I'm a PhD student at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada studying the ecology and evolution of Arctic (Oeneis) butterflies. For part of my project, I need specimens of all North American Oeneis melissa subspecies (EXCEPT Oeneis melissa semidea on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire). I'm looking for people who will be working in or visiting any of the following areas this year that would be willing to collect a few specimens for me:

Newfoundland/Labrador/northern Quebec/Gaspe
along the shores of Hudson Bay
Nunavut/Northwest Territories/Yukon/Alaska
Rockies Alberta and British Columbia
northern British Columbia
US Rockies - Nevada, Colorado, northern New Mexico

If you or someone you know may be able to help me, please contact me at agradish at uoguelph.ca

Thanks!
Angela
