If I'm reading that right, it looks to me as if you are saying that
morphometrics is only good for comparison and selection within a known
population of honey bees. If so, by extension, I would see that as
suggesting that the technique is not well suited to identifying the race of
unknown samples of honey bees.
Can you expand a bit on what you are saying and clarify that point?
Thanks.
