This of course is one of the paradoxs of Nature. What may be unkind to the individual is kind to the species in making the species better adaptable to changing conditions. Variable breeding rates are often the result of inbreeding which of course will result in variation in a great many other characteristics. Like buying a 649 ticket, many such as this are clear loosers but once in a while bingo! - hit the jackpot. Salmon enter our rivers all months of the year. A clear winner to allow stocks to take advantage of conditions. Was that a result of inbreeding a long time ago? Nobody knows for sure! Enjoy the summer Paul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
