Active sensing: Eavesdropping on your neighbor to locate prey
1Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Center for Neural Dynamics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON K1H 8M5, Canada.
Abstract:
When animals using active sensing, e.g., sonar or an electric organ discharge, cooperate while foraging, the emitted sound or electric field is available to neighboring conspecifics. Experimental and modelling studies have shown that an electric fish can use the discharge of neighbors to extend their own electrosensory prey detection range.
