Posted by: Sunherp at Mon Dec 27 09:45:40 2010 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Sunherp ] The animals in West Texas often show traits from both Pituophis catenifer sayi and P. c. affinis. The two forms intergrade broadly and some populations are apt to show characteristics of one form more prominently than the other due to gene flow and selection. They've got locality data, so what common name you apply to them is really irrelevant. I, personally, would call them, "Pituophis catenifer affinis X sayi - Christmas Mountains, Brewster County, Texas." | ||
