Backyard birdfeeders driving avian evolution

[L&L Knight <>]

The interesting part is "The findings, published in the journal  
Current Biology, challenge the conventional view that two populations  
have to be geographically separated to diverge into different species.  
Many scientists have argued that it would be unusual for gene pools to  
be kept separate for long enough for a new species to emerge."
