Talk:Ring species
From RationalWiki
From the article. Ring Species are a midpoint in the process of speciation. It essentially means that a species has split into several populations
I do not feel this is true. A ring species is one continuous population, which each individual able to mate with its immediate neighbor but not with a more distant neighbor. In some cases the ring may not be closed as is the case, I believe, with the earth species the herring gull.--Skynet 21:16, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes a link.simple explanation. Now I think about it some more the ring is probably never closed.--Skynet 21:19, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Lack of evidence?
According to WEIT, good evidence for ring species seems to have vaporised.
