Frisch: Karl V

Karl von Frisch (1886–1982) was an Austrian ethologist whose groundbreaking research on honey bee communication and sensory perception revolutionized the understanding of animal behavior. He is best known for deciphering the “waggle dance” – a symbolic language used by bees to convey the distance, direction, and quality of food sources. For this work, he was co-awarded the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, alongside Konrad Lorenz and Nikolaas Tinbergen.

Early in his career, von Frisch showed that fish (particularly minnows) have excellent hearing and can be conditioned to respond to specific acoustic stimuli, disproving the long-held belief that fish were deaf. karl v frisch
