Hello Tweeters,
As we read Devorah Bennu's review in last Wednesday's Tweeters (1/23/08) of the book "Speciation in Birds" by Trevor Price, a number of questions came to mind with respect to the photos in the link below. Devorah says that the book provides "a clearer knowledge of the extensive research that underlies and contributes to the dynamic concept of what is a species". Does anyone understand the species or interbreeds that led to the accompanying photographs? Can anyone provide the critical DNA information? We continue to be puzzled!
Very best with your genetic analysis abilities!
