Subject: [HELICONIUS] Fwd: other: gene flow in insects

With apologies to anyone receiving this twice, my sense is that such
data sets as are being sought here exist for Heliconius. I know these
folks from Cornell and think highly of them. I'm sure they'd
appreciate any assistance they can get.
Thanks,
Jamie
