Archer fish jumping for prey capture are capable of achieving accelerations that can reach
12 times gravitational from a stationary start at the free surface. This behavior is associated …

Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic
animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required …

Fishes have repeatedly evolved characteristic body shapes depending on how close they
live to the substrate. Pelagic fishes live in open water and typically have narrow, streamlined …

Mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) are small fusiform teleosts
(Cyprinodontiformes) with the ability to locomote on land, despite lacking apparent …

Associations of large vertebrates are exceedingly rare in the Late Jurassic Solnhofen
Limestone of Bavaria, Southern Germany. However, there are five specimens of medium …

Autonomous underwater vehicles have been extensively developed in the past decades
and deployed for various ocean research activities. While the leaping‐out motions of …

Smallscale archer fish, Toxotes microlepis, are best known for spitting jets of water to
capture prey, but also hunt by jumping out of the water to heights of up to 2.5 body lengths …

In nature, jumping out of water is a behaviour commonly observed in aquatic species to
either escape from predators or hunt prey. However, not all aquatic species are capable of …

This paper provides a taxonomic revision of the Neotropical electric fish genus
Sternarchella, with redescriptions of seven valid species and descriptions of two new …

Many fishes are able to jump out of the water and launch themselves into the air. Such
behavior has been connected with prey capture, migration and predator avoidance. We …
