<P>Good Afternoon All!</P>
<P>My name is Amanda Dillon, I am currently working as the Assistant Ecologist
at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. I recently completed my master's
degree studying apoid bees and wasps in northern Onondaga county and, last
year, I conducted that same research for the Pine Bush. These studies
have resulted in thousands of specimens which are currently stored in vials of
ethanol. I would have liked to have dried and pinned as I went, but time
and money limited that capability. I am in the process of pinning
representative collections for both locations but will have a number of
specimens left over. I am writing today to discover if anyone on this
listserv would have any use for these specimens or knows of anyone who
would. The vials do not have species identifications in them, all the
data is contained in corresponding excel worksheets, which I could
provide. Unfortunately, the local museums do not have much use for
specimens stored in ethanol that are not individually labeled, which I
can understand. However, I know that some people out there are
conducting genetic research on certain genera and thought these
might be especially useful to those individuals in particular but please
let me know if you have any use for them!</P>
<P>Thanks so much!</P>
