Posted by: mci at Thu Jan 19 20:57:44 2006 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by mci ] Initially the term "morph" was used pretty much as biologists use it, to mean one of the distinctive forms of a polymorphic species. For example, the california kingsnake occurs in two pattern morphs -- striped and banded. Then, as you put it, the "inbred mutant" market took off, and people who probably never knew what morph meant anyway started applying it to any color or pattern variation, naturally occuring or not. (I guess it's all naturally occuring, strictly speaking, but you get my meaning). [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
