Thanks to reply my post and agree with my opinion. This topic is very hard to me i just majoring in geography not biology or ecoscience just tried in liberal arts.Hello Voks,
i'm agree with you in your last sentence, but i'm not at the same level. "As the habitat has variation, the pede has variation".
Colour, in pedes, is not too significant for a big adaptation to other enviroments. In mamals, for example in humans, it was very important in the past.
More or less, all the species, are found acording some temperature and humidity parametres. And of course galapagoensis, must to be always in the same range (tropical) independely of their colouration.
Pedes are cosmopolite but a specie never lives in different biotopes (with a few exceptions like S. morsitans). But in general, one sp. belongs to a concrete biotope.
In other hand, inbreeding diferent species of pedes maybe a little difficult...i wish you the best luck for that, and of course keep us informed .
Cheers
Carles
Yes! That is the idea! you can correlation a pede with their distribution area acording their colour!(most of my university professor majored in humanities geography so I can't say about physical geographic idea and species distribution or correlation between color, species, and space.)
