Hi Eddie,

Du hast recht. Ich bin manchmal schwer zu verstehen.
Aber ich kann es nicht besser erklären.

Variationsbreite innerhalb einer Art, Unterart von einer Population am
gleichen Fundort
und Funddatum  bedeudet variability or variation, welches ungefähr das
gleiche bedeuten
kann.

Variation oder Form nach der Taxanomie soll im Englischen variety lauten.
Ist das richtig.

Was verstehst Du unter variation in time and space.

Danke mit Bitte um neuerliche Beantwortung
mit freundlichen Grüssen
Helmut

sorry I have seen to late that this request is going not only to Eddie
Clamp but also to
Conch-L. But when I close this e-mail and look for Eddies e-mail, the
question will
going lost. So if anybody has an idea please answer me nevertheless.

thanks Helmut
