Those who can see their environments often do not readily perceive echoes from nearby objects, due to an echo suppression phenomenon brought on by the precedence effect. However, with training, sighted individuals with normal hearing can learn to avoid obstacles using only sound, showing that echolocation is a general human ability. [9]
Like electric fish, echolocating animals are susceptible to jamming from other animals of the same species emitting signals in the nearby environment. [8] To avoid such jamming, bats use a strategy also employed by electric fish to avoid this jamming: a behavior known as jamming avoidance response (JAR). [8]
The term echolocation was coined by 1944 by the American zoologist Donald Griffin, who, with Robert Galambos, first demonstrated the phenomenon in bats. [1] [2] As Griffin described in his book, [3] the 18th century Italian scientist Lazzaro Spallanzani had, by means of a series of elaborate experiments, concluded that when bats fly at night, they rely on some sense besides vision, but he did ...

Dozens of people have commented on her post, including many who wish to stay away from this particular fish. “That’s a fish straight outta the depths from hell,” one commenter said.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has released nearly 1 billion saltwater fish into Texas bays over the last 40 years — an effort to revitalize historic fisheries and recover native fish ...
Shorthead redhorse play a key role in their ecosystems as prey for larger game fish. [7] They are often used for bait if caught small enough. Humans impact the population the most through chemical contamination of their habitat. Bioaccumulation of chemicals is common in fish that feed near the benthic zone, like the shorthead redhorse.
