Weakly electric fish use self-generated motion to discriminate object shape

The study shows that Peters elephantnose fish use body movements to enhance shape discrimination of objects through active electrolocation.

The influence of visual pollution on navigation mechanisms in the damselfish (Chrysiptera cyanea)

This study examines how visual pollution affects navigation in damselfish, finding no significant impact on cue preference but noting effects on movement and decision-making.

An educated guess: how coral reef fish make decisions under uncertainty

This study investigates how coral reef fish make decisions under uncertainty by testing their ability to integrate probabilistic information and adjust strategies as visual signals become unreliable.

Distance estimation in the Goldfish (Carassius auratus)

This study shows goldfish can estimate distance using optic flow, suggesting spatial mapping mechanisms may be conserved across species.

A new method for measuring fish swimming patterns in shallow water and a previously undescribed swimming gait

The paper introduces a new method to observe swimming patterns in fish using a Schlieren technique and describes a previously undescribed swimming gait called pulse swimming.

The structure and function of the sucker systems of hill stream loaches

This study examines the skeletal structure and functional mechanics of sucker systems in hill stream loaches to understand adaptations for high-flow environments.

Teleost fish can accurately estimate distance travelled

This study shows teleost fish can accurately estimate distance travelled, suggesting similar neural mechanisms to terrestrial vertebrates, but finbeat counting is unreliable for aquatic odometry.
