But recently ScienceDaily reported that a team of researchers that included two students from the University of Miami Rosensteil School of Marine & Amotshperic Science were conducting studies of benthic acoustics using specialized equipment when they made a wonderful discovery. The team observed, or more accurately heard, Hemisquilla californiensis, the California mantis shrimp, communicating vocally by using rumbles. Full story inside.
