    Summary:
    Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before
    scientists' eyes. The marine snails were
    reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped
    them out from the skerry. While the
    researchers intentionally brought in a
    distinct population of the same snail species,
    these evolved to strikingly resemble the
    population lost over 30 years prior.
