>>Er, it wouldn't occur to a moron like WW that my python papers were written and submitted long before the paper cited by WW came out.
Ray,
I was simply referring to your inability to cite the paper when asked for the DNA evidence by others - quite amusing, really, since this is the first time that DNA evidence actually exists relating to one of the taxa you describe. However, your comment on relative timing spurred me on to actually look at your paper, so here are a couple of interesting observations:
The Rawlings and Donnellan paper appeared in the April 2003 number of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution.
Your paper (.pdf version from your site, "exactly as it appeared in printed form in The Newsletter of the Macarthur Herpetological Society" quotes a post by Richard Wells on kingsnake.com, dated 1 August 2003. Unless you are gifted with clairvoyancy, that rather suggests that your paper was written AFTER said post by Richard Wells, i.e., ~4 months AFTER the Rawlings & Donnellan paper came out.
Thanks for an early morning chuckle that brightened up a dull and grey British autumn day.
Cheers,
Wolfgang
