[Odonata-l] Want to help with an exciting damselfly project?

[Melissa Callahan]

Greetings!
I'm a graduate student in Mark McPeek's lab at Dartmouth College and am 
starting a project investigating the evolutionary history of /Enallagma 
/damselflies.  We will be using DNA sequencing to understand the genetic 
population structure across the ranges of several /Enallagma /species.

If you'd like to see the first piece of this study, you can find the 
paper at

http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/428682

I would be very grateful for /Enallagma/ adult males of any of the 
following species.  Our goal is to get 10-15 individuals from a number 
of locations (e.g., 10-15 sites) scattered across the distributions of 
each species for our DNA work.   However, just one individual of a 
species from a site would be a great help. Any /Enallagma/ species will 
be appreciated, but the ones of most interest are:

E. antennatum
E. basidens
E. coecum
E. concisum
E. daeckii
E. divagans
E. dubium
E. durum
E. eiseni
E. exsulans
E. pallidum
E. pictum
E. pollutum
E. novaehispaniae
E. semicirculare
E. signatum
E. sulcatum
E. traviatum
E. vesperum
E. weewa/

If you are interested in helping out, please e-mail me at 
melissa.callahan at dartmouth.edu .  I will then send you information about 
how to collect and preserve the bugs for our study (it's very simple and 
easy).

Best wishes,

Melissa Callahan
