An Integrated Perspective of Evolution and Development: From Genes to Function to Ear, Lateral Line and Electroreception [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 Four sensory systems (vestibular, lateral line, electroreception, auditory) are unique and project exclusively to the brainstem of vertebrates. All sensory neurons depend on a common set of genes (Eya1, Sox2, Neurog1, Neurod1) that project to a dorsal ...

Passive electroreception in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus): implication for micro- and large-scale orientation. [PDF]
J Exp Biol, 2023 For the two dolphin species Sotalia guianensis (Guiana dolphin) and Tursiops truncatus (bottlenose dolphin), previous research has shown that the vibrissal crypts located on the rostrum represent highly innervated, ampullary electroreceptors and that ...

Adaptive shift of active electroreception in weakly electric fish for troglobitic life [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The adaptive-shift hypothesis for the evolution of cave-dwelling species posits that ancestor species in surface habitats had exaptations for subterranean life that were exploited when individuals invaded caves.

Excitatory and inhibitory synaptic mechanisms at the first stage of integration in the electroreception system of the shark [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 High impulse rate in afferent nerves is a common feature in many sensory systems that serve to accommodate a wide dynamic range. However, the first stage of integration should be endowed with specific properties that enable efficient handling of the ...

Electroreception in treehoppers: How extreme morphologies can increase electrical sensitivity. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ASignificance Our study reveals that the extreme morphologies seen in animals such as treehoppers may increase their sensitivity to electrical stimuli. We show that treehoppers can likely detect the electric fields of their predators and that sufficient ...

The ecology of electricity and electroreception [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2021 Electricity, the interaction between electrically charged objects, is widely known to be fundamental to the functioning of living systems. However, this appreciation has largely been restricted to the scale of atoms, molecules, and cells.

Bee positive: the importance of electroreception in pollinator cognitive ecology [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The global atmospheric circuit generates a permanent electric field between the Earth surface and outer atmosphere (Rycroft et al., 2000). The ground and plants conductively linked to it are negatively charged (Bowker and Crenshaw, 2007), whereas animals

Electroreception in marine fishes: chondrichthyans. [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2019 Electroreception in marine fishes occurs across a variety of taxa and is best known in chondrichthyans. Here, we present an up-to-date review of what is known about the biology of passive electroreception and considered how this knowledge can assist in ...
