Lester, this is probably a question for you.
I've been thinking lately a lot about the home range of HL's, which is relatively small. Add in the microhabitat borders for many species and it just seems the gene flow would be limited or very slow to creep.
Do you have any insight into this? From studying both coronatum and solare habitat, I've seen that at least some populations seem to be limited to a few acres or less, with little noticable activity beyond this area. It would seem that mating between siblings would be highly likely.
Thanks
