I think ( I am afraid of misrepresenting her views) that Emily Vokes does
not "believe" in subspecies. They have to be sufficiently different from
the nominal species to merit description, and they must be separated
geographically (or in time). By then, you may as well talk about a valid
species.
Which I think is the point Emilio is also trying to make.
