5.1.2 Animals
Speciation through hybridization and/or polyploidy has long been considered much less important in animals than in plants [[[refs.]]]. A number of reviews suggest that this view may be mistaken. (Lokki and Saura 1980; Bullini and Nascetti 1990; Vrijenhoek 1994). Bullini and Nasceti (1990) review chromosomal and genetic evidence that suggest that speciation through hybridization may occur in a number of insect species, including walking sticks, grasshoppers, blackflies and cucurlionid beetles. Lokki and Saura (1980) discuss the role of polyploidy in insect evolution. Vrijenhoek (1994) reviews the literature on parthenogenesis and hybridogenesis in fish. I will tackle this topic in greater depth in the next version of this document.
Suggest? May? Doesn't seem to be direct observation to me. Those words imply speculation.
There are other example which imply a considerable degree of speculation. this was just the first one that I found. In no case, and I did not read all of the links completely, was there any direct observation of macro-evolution.
Any attempt to compare hybridization of plant life with animal life is a huge stretch; but I suppose if that's all you have, it's all you have.
