Dear Ecolog list members, Im PhD student at the Oceanographic Centre of Marseille (France), at the diversity, evolution and functional marine ecology laboratory (DIMAR). My work deals with the irregular urchins and more particularly with the heart urchin /Echinocardium cordatum/ for which we are studying phylogeography and population genetics. So, Im looking for specimens of different populations (of /Echinocardium sp./) of the world, and Im wondering if anyone of you could send me some specimens in order to integrate them in my study. About 30 specimens by location would be ideal for population genetics, but just a few are enough for a phylogeography study. As I work on DNA, the specimens must have been conserved in alcohol or frozen. I would be very obliged if you could help me or if you know somebody that could help me.
Many thanks for your precious help.
