here's an easy way to remember it, tough it's missing domain:
King Phillip Came Over From Great Spain.
My bio teacher got us to remember that as King Philip Came Over For *** Sex.

It was much easier to remember that way.

But...your response doesn't really answer tore's question.

I'm a supporter of the reproductive isolation bit. Unless someone finds an organism (say, an amphibian) that can breed with a totally different organism (say, a mammal) and produce viable offspring, I'll stick with that.
