Does evolution happen quicker in species with a short life span?

Since being able to pass on certain characteristics to offspring is key to evolution, Have animals that reproduce & die quickly  been able to speed up evolution?

Yes. Organisms like bugs evolve much quicker than mammals, and bacteria evolve even quicker. This is why antibiotic-resistant diseases are such a problem. Humans introduce a threat, the disease respond within a matter of years. People usually believe evolution to take a long time, but it isn't time but number of generations that matter.
