Looking for Ian MaterialsMan (2 Viewers)

[kiviat]

Good morning, This is Erik Kiviat, a researcher in New York State. I'm publishing a paper about birds nesting in or under knotweed. There was a record of a Willow Warbler nest under knotweed in England on the web site of "Ian" "MaterialsMan" but the pages have been taken down. Does anyone know how I can reach Ian to ask if I can cite him as a personal communication? Thank you for any help on this! -Erik

Hi and welcome to the forum! Is there anymore information on this article, like the year it was published? This could help with tracking down any archives of it! I’m sorry I do not have any contact info on this “Ian Materialsman”, I couldn’t find any online! However, you could try using SORA, a place with a bunch of ornithological articles and the like archived, Welcome to SORA, the Searchable Ornithological Research Archive | Searchable Ornithological Research Archive I hope this link works, and might possibly help! If not, my apologies!

Thank you, Avalanche! The post was dated May 2018. However, I was able to find a Wayback Machine URL for the missing page so I think the problem is solved. Best, Erik
