In biogeography and paleontology I am an exile
a relict is a population patina of pinned
or taxon of organisms landmines
widespread or diverse scattered rampant
in the past: over decades
A relictual population torn paper
occurs in restricted
areas, whose original range and photos
was far wider
during a previous geologic in a fen of bog-water
epoch:
Similarly, a relictual taxon Who knew
(e.g. species or other lineage) these female organs
is the sole would be the last
surviving
representative daughter
of a formerly diverse group: of a line of mothers
It persists as a remnant stubborn
of a once diverse
and widespread population: canny on a gangplank
Relictualism occurs
when widespread habitat or range
changes, and a small area on an island
is cut off apart
from the whole. A subset as one
population is confined unleashed mettle
to any hospitable arena, and survives
while the broader population shrinks while my people
or evolves divergently: dwindled
Stranded, or insularized by changes In this coastal
over time, the agent moor-nest
of change
could be continental drift sea-water rises
or an ice age. (hear the sigh shine)
