In an experiment by the University of California at Davis, on Punctuated equilibrium vs. gradualism. The results of the experiment suggest that there are no constraints, and no difference between gradual and rapid evolution. They were able to show that evolutionary changes can emerge in as little as a decade. http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html IMO, This may support what many small cell beekeepers (that have managed to maintain bees on small cell long term) are seeing, that fundamental changes seem to occur once bees are established and maintained on small cell long term.
