However, preservation of locality in breeding programs is the key to preserving the unique phenotypes and forms from those areas in captivity as best as possible.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I for one understand the IDEA of breeding for locality, but to think that discernable differences are linked to locality and not simple variability is a misnomer. Phenotypic expression may be more represented in certain localities for sure, but because variability isnt limited to that locality neither is that phenotype.
