[Taxacom] Metapopulation lineage species concept

[Jody Haynes]

Dear TAXACOMers:

I just finished reading a couple papers by Kevin de Queiroz from 2005 on the metapopulation lineage concept of species (see URLs below). I was hoping to get some feedback on this species concept and its various implications in taxonomy. If this subject has been discussed here already, then please accept my apologies for re-initiating discussion.
