  1. Looks like someone copied this data from here:

    http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/speciati...


  2. That would be me.  (That's an excerpt from one of my answers.)

    And yes, emucompboy is correct, in that part of my answer I was summarizing the examples on the speciation page on talkorigins.com.

    My apologies for not providing the link for more information.  This was part of a very long answer I wrote a year ago ... a  summary of a *lot* of evidence gathered from *many* different sources.

    P.S. I see now that I included a typo ... I wrote "firewood" when I meant to type "fireweed."
