Thanks Mike. I didn't have mexicana. Add B. c. melanogaster to the list for a total of 11 so far.

Technically, though, an intergrade is the breeding of two subspecies in an area of range overlap. If there is no range overlap, then it is not really an intergrade.
That's good to know Harold. If an intergrade is a breeding among two subspecies in an area of range overlap, then is there a particular name for a breeding of two subspecies where there is no range overlap?

Many of the larger "Hog Islands" that we see are not from Cayos de Cochinos, but are lighter specimens taken from mainland Honduras.
I thought Hoggs came from Cayos de Cochinos originally, but when the island became depleated they were collected from other nearby islands. I was not aware that they were also collected from the mainland. Thanks for that tidbit.

Thanks for your post Jake. We have listed melanogaster, but not sigma. I have not heard of that one. Where does it come from? Art
