You want to see evolution? Well, do ya? Do you want to see actual biological evolution in action? Look no further than the Sunshine State’s own University of Florida:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Although widely speculated, researchers have now shown that the evolution of one species can drive the evolution of another.
For the first time, researchers from the University of Florida, the University of Notre Dame and Michigan State University have documented what evolutionary biologists call “cascading speciation.†In the Feb. 6 issue of the journal Science, they describe how the continuing evolution of a fly species directly triggers changes in a wasp that preys on those flies — a powerful demonstration of the complexity of Darwin’s theory.

Outstanding news! I can’t wait to see how Casey Luskin tries to spin this one.
I tell ya, Florida, so far you’ve done better than Oklahoma, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Iowa in terms of antievolution legislation. We may welcome you into the Enlightenment yet!
