What will the religionistas come back with now?  Pretty compelling evidence to support Darwinism me thinks.

I’d suspect it would have more to do with declining shark numbers making it harder to find mates then being a result of climate change. I might be wrong, I cant find any papers on it though…they probably havent published yet so its possible they have good reasons for claiming that. Pretty interesting either way. Incidentally the same thing has happened in NSW with black bream and yellowfin bream on the south coast, there are practically no full black bream left in nsw, most bream that are called ‘blackbream’ are actually now hybrids.
