Quote (Erasmus @ FCD,Feb. 24 2009,04:51)
You have 12 similar species forming in 80 years, not single species formed 12 times.  They may not be reproductively isolated from each other, yet, but as we have shown that is not difficult to achieve by drift or different selection regimes.
...

The species concept used in this paper is fraught with error.  It doesn't allow for evolution, it is a morphological type concept.

I smell defeat.

It ain't pretty when they start turning on their own.

Don't blame me Erasmus - Albatrossity brought those "error filled" papers into the discussion!

(I'm taking it that you don't want to talk about flowers anymore!)
