I changed title and added some quoted material
See subtitle. Seems to me to be what's appropriate for the situation.
When supplying (especially bare) links, one must also beware of linked pages that may not be perminent.

Re: Species formation or species preservation? (topic to be moved soon)
While the topic did start off as "Coffee House" material, I see that it's going to head the "Biological Evolution" direction.
Going to move this topic real soon. Please stand by, or you will be trying to post to a closed topic.

(IMO) the question is, how did the cited environment come to be as it is?
Thread moved here from the Coffee House forum.
Please note message subtitle.

So, the question is, is the isolated environment causing species formation or is the isolation meerly preserving what were once more widespread populations?
