A tiny fly larva living in one of Africa's deepest lakes has evolved air-filled organs strong enough to withstand pressures found more than 200 meters underwater, according to a new Science study. The findings challenge a long-standing explanation for why insects have never colonized the open ocean. scim.ag/44RaPvd
