<div class="p1">Dear all,</div>
<div class="p2"><br></div>
<div class="p1">My name is Margarita Lopez-Uribe. I'm a graduate student at Cornell University in Bryan Danforth's Lab. For my PhD thesis, I am conducting a population genetic study of Peponapis pruinosa across its current range in North America (US, Mexico and Canada). For this purpose, I need samples from as many populations of Peponapis pruinosa as I can get across its current range.</div>
<div class="p2"><br></div>
<div class="p1">I would greatly appreciate your help in this project. I would like to know if any of you would be willing to collaborate with me on the sampling of the bees. Basically, I need specimens of bees preserved in alcohol for the genetic analysis. Both males and females (between 30-50 specimens per site, if possible) will be perfect! </div><div class="p1"><br></div><div class="p1">If you are willing to help, please send me an email (<span class="s1">mayalopez@gmail.com</span>). I will ship vials of ethanol for collecting bees and of course I will cover the cost of return postage. </div><meta charset="utf-8"><meta charset="utf-8">

<div class="p1">I thank you in advance for you time and help.</div>

<div class="p1">Sincerely,</div>
