Republicans and Democrats in the House voted Wednesday to pass a bill to address the nation's housing affordability crisis. It encourages homebuilding across the country and would ban corporate landlords from buying up more than 350 houses.
The bill passed 396 to 13.
"These fish are heading up right into some manta ray rear-ends," Emily Yeager, a marine researcher at the University of Miami, told As It Happens host Nil Kӧksal. "It could be very uncomfortable for them."
It's called "cloacal diving," because the fish launches itself into its host's cloaca, a one-stop-shop orifice for reproduction and excretion.
Yeager, a PhD candidate, is the lead author of a new study about the phenomenon, published this month in the journal Ecology and Evolution.
