This is not the whole article, and the initial prediction (that the lizards would not survive) was wrong. The article goes on to describe how they adapted to the new conditions by evolving in predictable ways.

I read the entire article, and I'm less than impressed. Here's the problem: The organisms would already be showing a trend toward beneficial mutation, before any new prediction was posited, and absent new conditions.

That's not a foundation for credible data, let alone science, although I'm sure some here would disagree.
