Fashion beaded bagsFashion beaded bags To start off with, it would be well to agree upon a definition of a species. In simplest terms, species is a relatively homogeneous population of genetically similar (though sometimes outwardly variable) organisms that are sexually compatible and will consistently interbreed in their natural habitat to the exclusion of related species occupying the same environment. In short, the key to speciation is sexual compatibility. Fashion beaded bagsFashion beaded bags "The large, arboreseent black coral shown in the photograph reproduced in Philippines Shell News is undoubtedly an antipatharian, or true black coral, and not a gorgonian. As you have discovered, the Antipatharia of the Philippines islands have not been extensively studied, partly be,ause they are a difficult group with very few active specialists (none that I know of right now), and partly because they are difficult to collect over the rough kind of bottom you have in Philippines. The large specimen may belong to the genus Antipathes, but I cannot be sure without looking at a branch from it, and may not be able to even then. In this group of corals, identification depends in a large part upon a miscroscopic examination of tissue sections, and would be impossible without a piece preserved in histological fixative or at least in formalin. In a few cases, the character a of the horny skeleton are sufficiently distinctive to permit reasonable accurate identification. If you care to have the collector submit a fragment, I will be happy to see what I can do with it within the.se limitations.
