Nematodes may be among the simplest animals, but scientists can't get enough of the microscopic roundworms. They have mapped the entire genome of C. elegans, the "lab rat" of nematodes, and have characterized nearly every aspect of its biology, with a particular focus on neurons. For years, it was assumed other nematodes' neurons were similar...

Zebrafish's near 360 degree UV-vision knocks stripes off Google Street View
Tiny freshwater fish have a view of the world that blows Google Street View out of the water -- using different parts of their eyes to deliver optimum uses of colour, black-and-white and ultraviolet.
A zebrafish view of the world has been forensically analysed by researchers at the University of Sussex to reveal that how they...
Fish's use of electricity might shed light on human illnesses
Deep in the night in muddy African rivers, a fish uses electrical charges to sense the world around it and communicate with other members of its species. Signaling in electrical spurts that last only a few tenths of a thousandth of a second allows the fish to navigate without letting predators know it is there....
