but I am unsure it had any influence on the outcome.<br />
8. There is a general sense of relief and expectation for<br />
the release of the new version, which should be with us<br />
before the end of the year.<br />
Thank you so much again and good luck.<br />

DIYABC problems<br />
Dear all, I was very happily working with DIYABC,<br />
and, suddenly, it stopped responding. I’ve tried many<br />
times to start again, simplifying scenarios, shortening<br />
runs, using various numbers of cores. The same thing<br />
keeps happening: I prepare all the settings and progress<br />
smoothly until the final screenshot where I just need to<br />
press ’START’ to build the simulated data sets, and<br />
as soon as I click, it freezes. The task manager just<br />
tells me that the program is not responding. I am running<br />
v1.0.4.46beta on a WindowsXP platform - as suggested<br />
- and on exactly the very same PC on which the<br />
software has been running smoothly in the past two<br />
months. Does anyone have any idea of what might be<br />
happening?<br />
Thanks,<br />
Stefano.<br />

Hi all<br />
Drosophila isofemale lines<br />
I’m in the Jiggins lab in Cambridge and I am looking<br />
to try and get hold of 100 isofemale lines of Drosophila<br />
sechellia and Drosophila mauritiana, if anyone has any<br />
lines being currently maintained, for a study investigating<br />
the evolutionary genetics underlying difference<br />
in immune capability in these species.<br />
Any help you can give me would be hugely appreciated.<br />

The European Society of Evolutionary Biology (ESEB)<br />
is pleased to announce the call for applications for<br />
travel stipends 2013. These stipends are for students<br />
and young scientists to attend the ESEB Congress in<br />
Lisbon in August 2013 (http://www.eseb2013.com/).<br />
The stipend will contribute to covering travel, living<br />
expenses and congress registration fees. The stipend<br />
will be paid out as a reimbursement after the congress,<br />
based on specification of the expenses.<br />
Eligibility: - Applicants must be ESEB members<br />
(for becoming a member of ESEB, see http://www.eseb.org/).<br />
- Applications can be submitted by<br />
scientists at various stages of their professional career<br />
(e.g., Masters and PhD students, postdocs, and lecturers).<br />
- Scientists working in a country with high GDP<br />
are not eligible (for the list of excluded countries see<br />
below). - People who received an ESEB travel stipend<br />
in the last five years are not eligible. - Applicants must<br />
submit to present either an oral communication or a
