ÞAKKIR
Við þökkum Halldóri W. Stefánssyni, Maríu B. Guðnadóttur, Ólafi S. Andrés-
syni, Skarphéðni Þórissyni, Páli B. Pálssyni og Páli M. Skúlasyni fyrir veitta
aðstoð við söfnun humlanna. Tveimur hinna síðastnefndu er jafnframt þakkað
fyrir að láta okkur í té ljósmyndir af móhumlu og rauðhumlu. Barry M.
OConnor, mítlasérfræðingur við háskólann í Michigan í Bandaríkjunum að-
stoðaði höfunda dyggilega við greiningu tegundanna. Matthíasi Alfreðssyni
er þakkað liðsinni við heimildaöflun. Erling Ólafssyni er sérstaklega þakkað
fyrir rannsóknir á humlufánu landsins undanfarna áratugi. Sú verðmæta
þekking sem hann hefur aflað er öllum aðgengileg á vef Náttúrufræði-
stofnunar Íslands og myndar traustan grunn fyrir rannsóknir eins og þær sem
hér voru kynntar. Tveimur ritrýnum eru þakkaðar ágætar ábendingar.
