[Taxacom] Disjunctions in the Central-Eastern Alps

[John Grehan]

I did not suggest that there was anything wrong with unexpected.

This case is interesting as there were no morphological precedents for
linking the two taxa - which means that the alternatives may include that
there are morphological (morphogenetic) features exist but have not been
found, that there are no such features, that molecular similarities provide
an accurate results, or that they do not (but in the absence of any
contradictory morphogenetic evidence the molecular evidence can stand as it
is). But in addition biogeographic corroboration is being looked at - an
outlook that is quite panbiogeographic.
