[Gecko] Fw: German meeting

[Magnus Forsberg]

Hi all,   A short summary from yearly meeting with Intressengruppe Phelsuma in G�ttingen(Germany).   As allways was this years meeting a great one.During the two days you get the time to sit down and discuss Phelsuma with other freaks.The talks was very interesting and different temas made it even moore interesting.There were a some talks refering to traveling and looking for Phelsuma from Maruritius,Reunion and of course Madagascar.Some was about keeping and breeding different species as P.inexpectata. One that I found very interesting was a spech about the relationships between Phelsuma species.This was done totaly with DNA as conecting factor.Two things that was really surprising was that P.guim.rosagularis was not closest to P.guim.guimbeaui but to P.cepediana and the most surprising though was the close relationship between P.anamanensis and P.breviceps.   Of course lots of Phelsumas was for sale.Among the species I could see were.P.hielscheri,P.guim.guimbeaui, P.inexpectata,P.quad.lepida,P.lineata subsp.,P.abb.sumptio,P.abb.checkei,P.nigristriata,P.astriata astriata, P.astriata semicarinata and a few moore.ALL OF COURS CAPTIVE BREED!!!!   Magnus
