I have recently seen an unusually high number of "should i releasethem?" threads in various forums. In and of itself, this is notparticularly alarming... but the trend of users telling the OP it is okis quite concerning!
A while ago i made a little subforum that was hidden from publicview so that i could work on invert pathogens with just a few people...but i sort of let the project fall by the way side.
Now i see that i was going about things the wrong way... i shouldhave had this publicly accessible from the beginning as i have lostover a year of potentially valuable contributions from all of you!
So i ask all of you now.... please help me to learn all we canabout invertebrate pathogens so that we can finally (eventually) have ahard paper full of nice scientific citations to show any who doubt thedubious value to a species of being released back into nature fromsomeone's collection!
p.s. if you are not already a member of SCABIES and wish to join pleasedo! general membership to the forum is not resticted in any way! thereare a few of our subforums that are private... but the vast majorityare viewable by all and postable by any registered user ;) if you do not wish to join scabies, but would like to contributeto this effort you can post links and discussion in this thread inwhatever forum you found it in and i will add the reference to thescabies subforum
Thanks for posting this information. I have joined your site. There is some interesting and useful information on it and I look forward to reading more as things develop. It's an important area that doesn't get a lot of attention.
