Posted by: Slaytonp at Mon Oct 29 12:07:33 2007 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Slaytonp ] Since Otis and I seem to have hijacked amphiman's thread of October 21st Red-eyed tree frog--I thought I'd move any further discussion up here in case anyone else has some views on the subject. Otis asked if using Dendrobates imitator was now considered "politically incorrect." I'm not certain that there is even a consensus among dart people that accepts the new systematic revision by Grant, et. al. So far, I haven't found any of the current popular breeders that have changed their listings yet. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. In the meantime, as long as we all know an imitator is still an imitator, whether it is Ranitomeya imitator or Dendrobates imitator, or a pumilio is still a pumilio whether we call it D. pumilio or Oophaga pumilio, the confusion can be kept at a minimum. At least they haven't meddled much with the species names we're used to, except to change a few endings for agreement with the new genus designation. (Dendrobates fantasticus is now Ranitomeya fantastica, D. reticulatus, now R. reticulata, etc.) [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
