Today I've finished reading and commentating an article written by Fred Poeser (Phd) about the genetics of the Campoma nr.42 endler (Poecilia wingei, gypsy endler) crossed to a female guppy (Poecilia reticulata) coming from a maculatus (orange spot on both sides in males) lab strain. He wanted my help and give my vision on this topic. It's an interesting read. It's a follow up on a former article of him. I had to reread his former article to have a clear mind about the new article. I've corrected one line. And I've added some info from own experience and my own projects, which could help the research further.
Fred is just like Michael and Isaac Isbrücker, one of the name givers of the latests scientific name of the endler (Poecilia wingei). Fred, Michael and I know eachother personally as well.
He specifically chose the Campoma nr.42 as this wild variety was to his liking. And he knew that I was keeping this variety as well. And I have more practical experiences with multiple wild varieties of the endler. I also like to talk about wild varieties than wild strains. For what's not really clear, is that those varieties in the wild could be diffferent strains but they could also be the same strain (for Poecilia wingei is an own species) but different in phenotype caused by environmental influences. In last case, many wild varieties look quite differentl from another and a certain number have just minor differences. So, there's still something to explore...
