Does anyone have any solid examples where one new species has resulted from a parent species, preferably not in the misty, distant past?

The evolution of the "Nylon Bug," a Flavobacterium is very recent.

Is this for real? Google has some more on it. Who sequenced that? Luckily I do understand binary code but not much else so this is going to require some deep digging. Thank you for the info. I will put a checkmark in the evo column with a question mark. It's just a little bitty bug. I will have to seek independent sources to see if it reproduces sexually, probably so.

Very curious indeed.
