Have you got a full reference for that? I don't think I know it, and it might be useful for a project I am starting next year - effect of different grazing systems on diptera populations. I just noticed your Location -  and ditto.And you will be glad to know that I managed to read all of your posts whilst eating my lunch. Edited by Susan R Walter on 30-11-2007 14:10 Susan |

Biology of the Muscidae of the World - der! Should have realised. Unsurprisingly, I don't have it. Must see if I can find out who's got the nearest copy.

Really Still slightly more than I can justify just now, but at least I know it's worth keeping my eye on. Thanks.
