Asexual Speciation: Distinguishing Species of Asexual Organisms

[Archosaur]

It's easy to distinguish species of sexual organisms, but how do we distinguish species of asexual organisms?

It's easy to distinguish species of sexual organisms,

Quite often it isn't.

The defn "species = can reproduce" isn't always very accurate however useful it is .

It's been replaced by the more accurate but pretty useless defn = "populations of organisms that have a high level of genetic similarity"

high level of genetic similarity"

Wow, that's pretty subjective...
Now I see what all the fuss is about.

I was a little afraid it would be something like that, haha.
(Not that I can think of a more objective rule)

Thanks for the info!
