True. Let me restate my question: In relation to biological organisms,
do the "species" in this research correspond more closely to individual
phenotypical traits, or to species? I think the answer to this question
depends on how one defines the ecosystem (Samantha recently pointed out
the importance of defining the ecosystem)
