Other relevant reads for our guest:
adaptive allele in deer mice
alleles controlling mimmicry in butterflies
gene controlling armor plates and ecological adaptation in sticklebacks
opsin genes drive speciation in cichlid fishes

Jeannot, your first link concludes with: "While it is clear that a derived increase in Agouti expression leads to wider hair bands and lighter camouflaging color, whether and by which mechanism an amino acid deletion (a?Ser) leads to a change in gene expression and ultimately phenotypic evolution is still unknown. "

The other links all have abstracts about what seems to be phenotypic variation that no one here has an argument with

Moreover, the mice remain interbreeding mice, the butterflies remain interbreeding butterflies,the chiclids remain interbreeding cichlids, and the sticklebacks remain interbreeding sticklebacks  

What we are really really interested in are all these so called mutations that supposedly turn bacteria into something other than bacteria or fruit flies into something other than fruit flies

Thanks

Mutations, of course, which don't exist, nor are they expected to exist.

It's really quite offensive to have to say something several times.

No one expects fruit flies to turn into dogs, except creationists.

You may now stop using this strawman fallacy.

However, as I said, you have but to ask and anyone of us can provide dozens of papers, probably hundreds, of speciation events and I know of at least one genus change in a single generation.
