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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An electric knifefish shimmies in the water for the same reason a dog sniffs or a human glances around a new place—to make sense of their surroundings. For the first time, scientists demonstrate that ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Regina Barber and Anil Oza about rhythms and the brain, how electric fish sense their environment, and a new methane-detecting satellite. It's time now for our regular ...

Scientists found a toothless “electric” creature with “large” eyes in shallow streams and discovered a new species, a study said. Google Street View June 2012 ...

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 ...
