Dear all,
With Nerida's and Salva's threads running at the moment it's good to see all
this interest in poecilogony. The question of flexible life histories is clearly
very important to our understanding of speciation in groups like the
spionids. Geoff quotes the abstract to my recent paper on Pygospio (I've
still some reprints left!) and I hope this contributes to the debate, but there's
plenty of work left to do on this species. I'm developing new molecular
markers to use on Pygospio, and I'd love to compare lots of populations
with differing life histories. To this end, I'd be very interested to hear about
other Pygospio populations out there.
best wishes
