Well the extent of their range suggests that something other than simple integration is at work so no it is not 100%. Current thought is that they are largely influenced by syspila. How that influence winded up in the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plains is the subject of the like I've posted. Outside of that, I think that their integrations with trianulum and elapsoidies to the north and south respectively is obvious.



All in all its still an odd situation especially given that there is a strong move to elevate elapsoidies to species status. If anything, I think the complex is a great example of what can happen to populations during periods when the climate is in transition.
