<br><tt><font size=2>Hi Katrina,<br>
<br>
I am a graduate student of Tom Kunz's at Boston University. I am <br>
conducting a rangewide population genetics study of Myotis lucifugus <br>
to better understand patterns of gene flow in this species and their <br>
association with the geographic spread of White-nose syndrome.<br>
<br>
I have sampled pretty extensively in the northeastern portion of the <br>
species' range, and am now focusing on collecting samples from the <br>
Midwest and West. If you happened to have any stored M. lucifugus <br>
tissue that you would be willing to loan, I would be very grateful for
<br>
the help and the bats would probably appreciate the minimized <br>
disturbance. If you don't have tissues on hand, do you know of people <br>
who will be out mist netting who might be able to collect wing <br>
biopsies or let me tag along to collect them? Alternatively, do you <br>
know of maternity colonies where I would likely catch luci's in Ohio <br>
or other states?<br>
<br>
I appreciate any help or advice you may offer.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Aryn<br>
