An excellent example of how an isolated environment with small populations can cause species formation...
I haven't studied the cited carefully, but I thought I'd inject something before things possibly get out of hand in a bad direction.
So, the question is, is the isolated environment causing species formation or is the isolation meerly preserving what were once more widespread populations?
