Screenshot of the first page of the PDF of the Review, The visual challenges of short-range navigation in teleost fish, in the Sensory Perception in a Changing World Special Issue. The Review is by Cait Newport and Theresa Burt de Perera. The publishing information states: © 2026. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2026) 229, jeb250888. doi:10.1242/jeb.250888. The first sentence of the Abstract states: 'To understand how fish use vision to navigate, we must first understand what they see'.
Light pollution & changes in water turbidity are affecting how fish negotiate their environment. In their SI review, Cait Newport & @burt15theresa.bsky.social discuss how sensory limitations & visual noise may impact the navigation of fish @biology.ox.ac.uk
