There's not even any general theory on speciation, and I don't really expect there to be. Just as there's a nigh-infinite number of ways to increase fitness, not all of which are immediately obvious, speciation really only involves creating genetic isolation, which can be achieved in so many bazillion ways that one wouldn't expect to be able to describe it generally. Meaning: that pig's dick could be too big, too small, or shaped funny, etc. <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://rhinocrisy.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="rednblack at alum dot mit dot edu">saurabh</a> Err, as to interbreeding: no, why would there be?

/snort. I have a sneaky suspicion you are way more enthusiastic about wading into freswhater ponds than the average rhodent.
