			Sex, speciation, and fishy physics - updated July 2011 For the summer holidays, Evo in the News will be revisiting past news items to bring you up-to-date on recent research and developments. In March of 2009, we reported on how the physics of light seems to have spurred speciation in Lake Victoria's cichlid fish. This summer, we report on new evidence that backs up this hypothesis — and that highlights the threat posed to these fish by pollution that clouds the lake's waters.
