Hi Steve. This did go through earlier. I remember reading it yesterday
afternoon. Perhaps you are not getting all NatureNS messages?

Thanks Dave, may be useful so I too downloaded it. I checked out
several terms and all those seemed to be there, but the 'search'
function often doesn't give a useful result -- it drops you at a
subsidiary use of a word, not at the main definition (e.g.
microtrichia, lamina, medulla, chordotonal), and there's no
cross-link from there. It is easy to scroll around, though, so
not a big problem.
<br>
<br>
A limitation is that very little information is given against each
definition, usually just a bare phrase or one liner. It is
therefore not a useful source to start to allow exploration of a
new unfamiliar topic, compared say to Wigglesworth's 'Principles'
7th ed., or a standard invert zoology text. I wouldn't buy the
$90 hardback printed version.
<br>
<br>
A fair retort of course is that some people can always find
something to grouse about, even when it's free like this.
