Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal's ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the ...

Amphibious fish have evolved a remarkable suite of locomotory strategies that enable them to navigate both aquatic and terrestrial environments. These species exhibit a range of adaptations—from ...

Concept: Researchers at the Institut Mines-Télécom Atlantique in Nantes, France, Tohoku University in Japan, and Université de Sherbrooke in Canada have collaborated to build ‘AgnathaX’, a long, ...

There are about 28,000 species of bony fishes — the largest taxonomic group of vertebrates — and they have been around for a very long time (over 400 million years). So it’s no surprise that they have ...

Waves and eddies : effects on fish behavior and habitat distribution / Paul W. Webb, Aline Cotel and Lorelle A. Meadows -- Biomechanics of rheotactic behavior in fishes / R.W. Blake and K.H.S. Chan -- ...

Researchers have created a unique robotic fish that swims like a lamprey, powered by a little Arduino hardware and coding. If you haven’t come across a Lampreys they are an ancient extant lineage of ...

Cartoons that illustrate evolution depict early vertebrates generating primordial limbs as they move onto land for the first time. But new findings indicate that some of these first ambulatory ...

"Why do all creatures — dogs, humans, fish, even insects — look symmetric? Even our imaginary aliens are often depicted with a symmetric face and body, but isn't it possible that creatures from other ...
