Re: Subspecies vs. species?

From: MOTO_DO at t-online.de (Thomas Mottl) on 1999.01.18 at 18:46:14(2920) Thank you all, you made a "Blind man " seeing (a liitle bit). I understand now, why this question is so "HORRIBLE, UNANSWERABLE", but before asking here Aroid-L, I ask many people, read in many books and no one and no book ever give me such good explanations about this problem. There were always those "something small things" or this "certain different enough" thing, which Julius also wrote, which differs a species from a ssp.. And in life there are rules for everything, why not for this? So I thought, when I ask here, someone can give me an answer. Now I know that it is such a small border between species and ssp., that only can be seen, with much experience and maybe "feeling" an naturally many time spending on research ans comparing. In the future I will try, not to ask after such horrible and unanswerable things (I hope!). Thank you ALL once more. Thomas Mottl +More moto_do@t-online.de J
