Do organisms with shorter lifespans evolve faster?

Yes.

A single slightly beneficial mutation in one individual can become ubiquitous in a large population in as few as 10,000 generations. In a long lived species this could take a hundred thousand years, but in short lived microscopic species this can be less than a year. Many 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 generation experiments have been done in labs with bacteria. This would take decades with short lived insects, and thousands of years with even the quickest reproducing mammals.

Edit: spelling.
