Yeah but you can be wrong and loud
*coughs* kevin *coughs violently*
true
@Σ5 look up NZ native birds and how they filled mammal niches and the general idea of "species concepts"
I think you'll like that kind of stuff
The kind of pointless but intersting zoology things
first thing that came up on google was a book
Species Concepts and Phylogenetic Theory
phylogenic clasification cannot apply to microbes
too much genetic exchange
What is a species by brainscoop might be a good entry level video
there are difrent deffinitions of species
the main one i usualy use is that 2 creatures are the same species if they are geneticly compatable without substantial isues
with a half half mix
So lions and tigers are the same species in that one
Hybridisation is a factor
All of them have issues
thast why i acknowledge there are ptroblems
its hard to define
i love how you guys are talking so scientific on this FE server
its kinda arbitrary
Broke: species concepts have problems
Woke: species as an idea are problematic
also there is the problem of ring species
yes i agree its probably a nonsensical idea also
its like trying to partition land area
there are times where i use systems that break intuition
i may actually say that lions and tigers are the same species
but that really bothers my intuition
<:thonk:485324336874651650>
That would be incorrect
acording to what deffinition
by my deffinition its not incorrect
its a semantical thing
it usualy gets down to what both sides mean
il only use that system when is only convienient
What most people use now is DNA
so its dna difrence?
