I wonder if there is some sort of objective measure for the amount of phenotype variation within a single species.
For example brocoli, as we all know, takes wildly different forms within the same species. This is common among some plants, even going so far as to allowing variations in ploidity.
But even among mamals there seems to be difference in variation. Dogs for example seem to have more variation than humans, at least outwardly.
@freemo It should be measured in units called Alabamas. An Alabama is the average genetic variance of two first cousins collected in the state of Alabama.
@freemo What kind of wild animals would you say have lots of variation?
