Wanted – examples of "everyday" evolution

A colleague is working on an article on examples of rapid evolution in the context of our “everyday” lives (i.e., things people see/encounter frequently).  What is needed are good examples, with citations, of recent rapid evolution.

Some candidate examples include

Obviously, many will be of “resistance” evolution (e.g., antibiotics, toxins) or host-pathogen interactions in some way.  Other examples of these would be great.  But even better would be some other recent examples of things like the peppered moth story.  Thanks
