Ah but Bruce the argument you are making applies to species and not to subspecies does it not? Also there has to be more to the argument that you have provided for it to be valid. If it was not, then Blue and Golden-winged Warblers should not be separate species
since they quite frequently interbreed. I believe the same applies to the Alfalfa Butterfly (Colias eurytheme) and the Clouded Sulphur (Colias philodice) with their numerous interbreed individuals.</div>

I've followed this thread for a little while and have avoided commenting on it. In large part, because it started when I was in Nairobi, and had low band-width. Now my travels have now taken me to Hobart, with its higher bandwidth! Alas, no collecting/watching
in either location, work-related (teaching and on an advisory committee).</div>

>From a genetics standpoint, the issue can be clearly framed in terms of gene exchange. In a classic paper, Sewall Wright (one of the founders of population genetics) noted that a single exchange of an individual between populations per generation is about
all that is needed to keep two neutral subpopulations from diverging (more formally, 4Nm >> 1, where m is the exchange rate and N the population size). So the issue becomes: "is there something about the migrationing population that results in a drastic
reduction in gene exchange with the non-migration population". Unless there is differential mate choice when they come into contact (which they will do each year), don't think the case can be made.</div>
