To Dr. Zettler

A larger ongoing marine programme collecting benthos from Norwegian waters (Mareano, www.mareano.no) have Amphipoda material. I'm sure if you ask the Institute of Marine Research (www.imr.no), e.g. Borge Holte, he may help you.

Kind regards, Halldis Ringvold

Thank you very much. Indeed, this idea seems to be good. Of course I heard a lot of Moreano especially via my ICES colleague Lene Buhl-Mortensen.

Best regards

Dear Dr. Zettler,

We have specimens of Leucothoe spinicarpa from our monitoring program in Tampa Bay Florida, USA -which makes me wonder if we may be dealing with a sibling species here. I would be happy to send you specimens if you are interested.

Take care,

Dave

Dear Dr Zettler,

I have material of a number of these species. How many specimens do you need of each? Do you need them for molecular analyses or for morphologicalo studies?

Regards,

Marco Faasse

Dear David and Marco,

I'm really happy to hear from you your willingness to help. I need the material for morphological studies. Therefore the material could be fixed in ethanol or formalin (or some else). It would be nice to have as much as you can. 10 will be enough (males and females) but also single specimens would be helpful. So please feel free to send me what you can.

Best regards

Michael

presently I can tell  only about Leucothoe spinicarpa which occurs in Pakistan
