In a breakthrough study published in Nature, scientists have discovered that the African weakly electric fish, Gnathonemus ...

Despite nearly indistinguishable outward physical appearances, the electric discharge signals of two newly discovered species of closely related fishes are quite different. Both electric fish belong ...

Electric fish exhibit a highly specialised sensory modality that utilises self‐generated electric fields to navigate, forage and communicate in turbid aquatic environments. Their electrosensory ...

Neuroscientist Nathan Sawtell has spent a lot of time studying a funky looking electric fish characterized by its long nose. The Gnathonemus petersii, or elephantnose fish, can send and decipher weak ...

Scientists uncover evidence for a new form of collective sensing that appears to enable elephantnose fish to extend their perceptual reach NEW YORK, NY — It would be a game-changer if all members of a ...

Many fish species have unique abilities that help them survive in water. Some fish can camouflage themselves, while others produce light or strong toxins. One of the most fascinating abilities found ...

It would be a game-changer if all members of a basketball team could see out of each other's eyes in addition to their own. Biologists have found evidence that this kind of collective sensing occurs ...
