 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, within policy, fifth DYK credit so no quid pro quo review requirement (from now on it'll apply to you). Checked pretty much all the article for close paraphrasing as I have access to the sources, didn't find any. Now, let me say that personally, I found this to be the most interesting DYK hook I've ever seen! That said, I am someone who might end up spending all their career studying speciation, but still, this should be of great general interest as well. Thank you for writing the article! &mdash;innotata 03:05, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
