Dear Colleagues,
Together with my research team, we are working on the evolution of hind wings in bark and ambrosia beetles. Therefore, we are looking for collaborators willing to share with us some bark beetle specimens. We need about 20–50 specimens per species (it would be ideal if they were already sexed!). Specimens might be either dry and pinned or stored in alcohol. For collaborators who will share with us a significant number of species, we offer cooperation in all scientific papers based on the shared material. We are interested in the members of the following taxa:
Species of Ips (except Ips acuminatus, Ips amitinus, Ips cembrae, Ips duplicatus, Ips sexdentatus, and Ips typographus),
Species of Denroctonus (except Dendroctonus micans)
Any species within: Bothrosternini, Cactopinini, Corthylini, Diamerini, Dryocoetini, Hexacolini, Hypoborini, Micracidini, Phloeosinini, Phrixosomatini, Scolytoplatypodini, Xyloctonini
If you are interested, please send me a message on ResearchGate.
Have a nice day,
Jakub
