relationship between colonization and incest behaviors amongst populations of these beetles. Although the species is indicated to have strong relative, kin, and familial recognition, similar to the lemurs studied by Boulet, the difference of the environment and ecological barriers that were present in the beetle populations have major consequences on their mating choices.

He agrees that if there is conflict between the two, then it does indeed cause trouble for the A-theory. The B-Theory of time,…
