In any case, it is obvious that the Bari- BQ dominance relations depend upon time, circumstances, and/or the particular individuals involved.

[[left margin]]Glor[[/left margin]]

[[left margin]]Bari Albi Colibri[[/left margin]]
8:56 am. Good heavens. Suddenly 3 Diglossas and 1 coruscans in Erythrina. Diglosses include 1 ♂ Bari, and 2 ♀, apparently 1 ♀ Albi and 1 ♀ Bari. All the Diglossas ignore the

I had reopened it to fix [[left margin]] [[/left margin]], and whoever just reviewed it didn't see any of them. I am reopening to fix them.
