The Puffer Forum

Scuse me resurrecting an ancient thread, but does anyone have access to those articles mentioned? I've seen them cited loads of times, but never been able to read them myself and would love to get my hands on them!

There's a paper on their diets but I can't access it

Ooh, I've got a copy of that one, thanks. One of the first articles I found, and it was really helpful, so I printed a copy to pop in Mushroom's journal Hope the author won't mind! It was just for me to refer back to.

These three are the ones I'm after, particularly that diet one! That would be so helpful if I could get my hands on a copy! The only website I found them on left me a bit confused. I couldn't access them, don't know if I was having a blonde moment, or if you need to belong to a university or something to be allowed to read them.

The abstract for the first one in here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... x/abstract
The second one here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... x/abstract
Here's the preview of the diet article: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1 ... 53#preview

These things are copyrighted (despite the fact the research was also payed for by the community...), so you'll likely get them over an university, which pays for them, if you pay for them yourself, but probably not for free on the internet.

That's the ones! You're wonderful!

I guess unless I can find a student willing to access them for me I'm going to need to pay Desperate to have a read of them! Think there'll be so much useful stuff in them.
