Study Shows Crustacean Larvae Guided by Reef Noise

It is probable that sound plays just as important a role in shaping aquatic ecosystems as it does in terrestrial ecosystems; after all, water conducts sound waves with much more intensity than does air. However, the higher conductivity of water actually makes it...
