I think that timber/canebrakes are experiencing adaptive radiation. For those who dont know, adaptive radiation is a process in which populations that are closely related that live in different environments adapt to each circumstance. As time passes they start to look different from one another until they reach the point where they can be called different subspecies.

Thats right. Yes the canebrake phase is the ancestriol phase and as they moved into cooler areas they changed through natural selection. Even at some of the timber dens we find a few timbers every now and then that look like canebrakes as far up as NY but I have yet to see any coastal canebrakes that look like timbers. This is the same for cottomouths, copperheads, and just about every animal that has a large wide spread distribution.
