Last post by Dr. Peter Langton - March 13, 2024, 03:41:28 PMDear Dr. Milosevic,
I have been asked by Valeria Lencioni to inform the participants of the availability of my keys to chironomid pupal exuviae. Any possibility of slipping into the program the following: 'Update on the availability of keys to chironomid pupal exuviae by Peter H. Langton' ? Probably 5 minutes will suffice.
Best wishes,
Peter Langton
