  2. Communication in aquatic animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_in_aquatic...

    Communication using any of these forms requires specialised signal producing and detecting organs. Thus, the structure, distribution and mechanism of these sensory systems vary amongst different classes and species of aquatic animals and they also differ greatly to those of terrestrial animals.

  4. Sensory systems in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_systems_in_fish

    Ocean currents moving in the magnetic field of the Earth also generate electric fields that sharks can use for orientation and possibly navigation. [26] Among teleosts, the electric catfish uses electroreception to navigate through muddy waters. These fish make use of spectral changes and amplitude modulation to determine factors such shape ...

  5. Lateral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_line

    Lateral lines play an important role in schooling behavior, predation, and orientation. Early in the evolution of fish, some of the sensory organs of the lateral line were modified to function as the electroreceptors called ampullae of Lorenzini. The lateral line system is ancient and basal to the vertebrate clade, as it is found in fishes that ...

  6. Melon (cetacean) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_(cetacean)

    The melon is structurally part of the nasal apparatus and comprises most of the mass tissue between the blowhole and the tip of the snout. The function of the melon is not completely understood, but scientists believe it is a bioacoustic component, providing a means of focusing sounds used in echolocation and creating a similarity between characteristics of its tissue and the surrounding water ...

  7. Animal communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_communication

    Another controversial issue is the extent to which human behaviours resemble animal communication, or whether all such communication has disappeared as a result of our linguistic capacity. Some of our bodily features—eyebrows, beards and moustaches, deep adult male voices, perhaps female breasts—strongly resemble adaptations to producing ...

  8. Multisensory integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisensory_integration

    Studies of sensory processing in humans and other animals has traditionally been performed one sense at a time, [10] and to the present day, numerous academic societies and journals are largely restricted to considering sensory modalities separately ('Vision Research', 'Hearing Research' etc.). However, there is also a long and parallel history ...

  9. Sensory play - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_play

    Guided therapeutic play for children such as occupational therapy; Children playing on their own with toys designed specifically to stimulate their senses, such as fidget toys ; or An adult activity, sensation play , involving a partner delivering sensory stimuli to the receiver, often but not always involving pain.
