Microevolution involves changes that have minimal impact on the structure of a species. Macroevolution, on the other hand, includes major changes from species into other species, and even from class to class (such as reptile to bird). The former also exists on a much smaller time scale, perhaps only taking a few hundred years for animals, or days for bacteria, whereas the latter is spread across eras.
