Scientists have long sought to explain how fish can sense the direction of sound, given the challenges that hearing underwater poses. An experimental study testing a variety of models now provides ...

Acoustic monitoring has a wide range of potential applications, including important ecological metrics (population trends and animal density) and providing detailed inferences on animal behavior 1, 2.

When underwater, humans cannot determine where a sound comes from. Sound travels about five times faster there than on land. That makes directional hearing, or sound localization, nearly impossible ...
