(Phys.org)—Kenneth Catania, a biological scientist with Vanderbilt University, has found evidence that suggests that electric eels use their electrical powers to both stun prey and to find them. In his paper published in the journal Nature Communications, he describes the study he undertook of the eels in his lab and how he showed that they use electrolocation to find the prey they have stunned.
