[Taxacom] THAI ARTHROPODS AVAILABLE

[Sharkey, Michael J]

Dear all,
    For the last two years Brian Brown and I, in concert with Chaweewan Hutacharern and the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden, have been conducting a biodiversity inventory of terrestrial arthropods. There are a number of taxa that we are seeking collaborators for and these are listed below. If interested please get in touch with me by email (msharkey at uky.edu<mailto:msharkey at uky.edu>). More on the biodiversity project can be found at http://sharkeylab.org/tiger and specimen loan conditions can be found at http://sharkeylab.org/tiger/docs/LoanOut.pdf.

Numbers on the right refer to the numbers of vials that contain pure samples of the taxon.
