Pay close attention to what was written in the article:

Eight years later (less than 30 guppy generations), the researchers found that the guppies in the low-predation environment above the barrier waterfall had adapted to their new environment by producing larger and fewer offspring with each reproductive cycle. No such adaptation was seen in the guppies that colonized the high-predation environment below the barrier waterfall.

So, the article uses the term Adaptation - where's the fire?

...of many adaptive differences ...

...This shows that adaptive change ...
