Micro-evolution is basically evolution, ie. changes in allele frequencies, studied at the scale of a single population or species. One way to do this is to count the incidence of a particular set of traits in a population, and then to repeat the count at intervals exceeding one average life-cycle. If you're seeing a shift in the proportion of individuals carrying those traits, then you've witnessed evolution at work.
