Gymnocephalus ambriaelacus - Ammersee-Barsch

The student has not yet published his thesis, so you must excuse this quote from a Bavarian rag. The article says they have discovered a new species found only in this glacial lake - that means the species can't be older than 10 000 years.
We Bavarians always had a special relationship with God - the Creator - the Designer, but imagine he-she-it-they descended to Bavaria just to create our very own species - whow!

I did my best reading the newspaper article using my rusty German, then did some googling and found the actual paper here, in English.
It's in the July 2010 issue of SPIXIANA, published by the Zoologische Staatssammlung München.

ETA: When I lived in Tübingen, my favorite brew was Dinkelacker CD-Pils.  Sadly, I can't seem to find it anymore here in the US.
