Pollution is to undertake a short study on the effect of artificial light on
the environment. Views on the scope of the study are required by 18<sup>th</sup>
January 2008, so there is little time to coordinate a response from the RES as
a whole. If any Fellows wish to make submissions on the effects of artificial
light on the biology of any insects, either as individuals or representing the
Society, please contact me at the email address below and I will send you the
necessary details.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
