But a clearer answer to diversity requirements surely requires some kind of id on what Nessie is - fish, reptile, invertebrate, etc. I am sure the genetics of each of these groups would give a different answer?<br /><br />There is also the rogue visitor Nessie theory that some espouse which makes the genetic question less important.<br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-24410101442036496592013-01-04T10:04:22.197-08:002013-01-04T10:04:22.197-08:00as a proponent of science i use various "filt...as a proponent of science i use various "filters" when looking at crypto-critters. one big filter is the requirement<br />that a population be large enough to avoid the effects that come with a lack of genetic diversity. i believe the numbers required to avoid extinction are not evident when it comes to nessie. nature is indifferent to human wishfull thinking and i would ask you to explain how a breeding population of nessies manage to remain undetected.to claim 1 nessie is real would also require the existence of 50-200? breeding adults and that seems given evidence to be somewhat unlikely. disregard if nessie is "magic"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-34684250333581196472012-12-30T13:15:57.398-08:002012-12-30T13:15:57.398-08:00I'll definitely be sticking around to see what...I'll definitely be sticking around to see what's in store for 2013 and, as Rick has already said, congratulations for an excellent blog.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-39337426976156347832012-12-29T13:10:18.025-08:002012-12-29T13:10:18.025-08:00Thanks, stick around for more in 2013!

At the least I look forward to reading and seeing the results of future searches. I wish I could accompany some of the researchers but I will have to be content with reading your great blogs.
