    Re: Retic Reclassification? Can we?

    I doubt there is a strong enough case for reclassification. The super dwarfs are just a population that exhibit small body size and exchange minimal gene flow with other populations in the wild. This happens frequently on islands. Creating a subspecies is not out of the question but very difficult to define.
