Back in 2016, a scientist from Germany's University of Bonn discovered how the African elephantnose fish can switch between its visual and electrical sensory systems. Now, a team led by that same ...

In many, many ways, fish of the species Brienomyrus brachyistius do not speak at all like Barack Obama. For starters, they communicate not through a spoken language but through electrical pulses ...

A new study published in Science Advances explores the unique evolutionary processes among certain genes in certain fish species that allowed them to develop electric organs (think: the electric eel).

Neuroscientist Nathan Sawtell has spent a lot of time studying the electric elephantnose fish. These fish send and decipher weak electric signals,... The "shocking" tactic electric fish use to ...

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 ...

When you hear the term ‘electric fish,’ the first thing that probably comes to mind is the infamous electric eel. It’s an aquatic animal capable of stunning nearby threats with a powerful electric ...

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 ...

The first electric eel was discovered by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus, well before the invention of the light bulb. In fact, the discovery of the electric eel is credited, in part with stimulating ...

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 ...

American writer and humorist Mark Twain, a master of language and noted lecturer, once offered, "The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause." Electric ...

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 ...
