Later, Mayr (1970) wrote, "A subspecies is an aggregate of phenotypically similar...taxonomically from other populations of the species." 4. Dobzhansky's (1970) later definition also changed somewhat. "A race is a cluster of local populations... | |

...the subspecies was only very slowly replaced by a populational one. A subspecies is now defined as "an aggregate of phenotypically similar populations...inhabiting a geographic subdivision of the range of a species, and differing taxonomically from other populations of the species" (Mayr, 1969: 41). It... | |

A subspecies is an aggregate of local populations of a species inhabiting a geographic subdivision...taxonomically from other populations of the species. The nature of species, subspecies and deme now arms us to solve the following questions: How from a... | |
