Most fish rely primarily on their vision to find prey to feed upon, but a University of Rhode Island biologist and her colleagues have demonstrated that a group of African cichlids feeds by using its ...

A team of biologists has demonstrated that cichlids, a group of African fish, can eat using the help of a non-visual sensory system, which is the first of its kind reported in this species. A team of ...

Scientists have developed robots with a new sense -- lateral line sensing. All fish have this sensing organ but so far it had no technological counterpart on human-made underwater vehicles. Scientists ...

Scientists, led by University of Bristol, have been studying a fish sensory organ to understand cues for collective behaviour which could be employed on underwater robots. This work was centred around ...

Cell migration plays an essential role in many morphogenetic processes, and its deregulation has many dramatic consequences. Yet how migration is controlled during normal development is still a ...

When you think about it, fish can do some pretty remarkable things. They can find prey in murky water, travel in tightly-packed schools without colliding, they always know what depth they’re at, and ...

(Nanowerk News) The EU funded European research project FILOSE has developed robots with a new sense - lateral line sensing. All fish have this sensing organ but so far it had no technological ...
