CONTRIBUTOR NOTES
Contributor Chris Lyal studies weevils at The Natural History Museum in London, England. His past studies have included work on Curculionidae of South-east Asia and Africa, and also research into the parasitic lice of mammals and their co-evolution. His present work is on seedfeeding weevils in tropical forests, with a sideline in the structural adaptations that enable them to communicate with each other by means of squeaking noises. Chris was educated at London University, and holds a PhD from Irnperial College. He and his wife Juliet spent some months in New Zealand collecting and studying cryptorhynchine weevils for this contribution.
