Researchers have developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk on land, and could ...

Fish stranded on shore often look helpless, all flops and wriggles. But that clumsy scramble may follow a surprisingly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An EU-funded project has developed robot fish with lateral line sensing, a sensing organ common to fish with no technological counterpart in man-made underwater vehicles. In an article published in ...

A quirk of nature has long baffled biologists: Why do animals push in directions that don’t point toward their goal, such as the side-to-side sashaying of a running lizard or cockroach? An engineer ...

Fish that are bred to be bolder or more shy show corresponding changes to their body shape and locomotion, suggesting that personality changes affect other seemingly unrelated traits. The findings ...

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 developed a fish-like robot that shows how some species of modern fish are able to walk on land, and could help unravel how early vertebrates evolved similar abilities hundreds of ...
