Maryland Entomological Society Talk
Peter Houlihan will be speaking at the Maryland Entomological Society on Friday, April 20 about BRINCC's insect studies from the 2011 expedition. Peter will also talk about his current work on the Barcode of Life Database using DNA sequencing to better understand the phylogeography of Borneo’s butterfly populations. Specimens from the more than 100 butterfly species that Peter collected will be on display following the talk. In addition, results from the expedition’s other biodiversity projects on frogs, birds, small mammals, and gibbons, and the social team’s work conducted in the communities will be discussed, all of which has been recently published online in BRINCC’s Preliminary Report. BRINCC's Entomological studies were sponsored byBioQuip Products.
For more information, please contact: peter@brinccborneo.org
Specimens will be on display at the talk. These drawers display mostly species belonging to the Zeuxidia and Amathuxidia genera.
