Advances in non-invasive tracking of wave-type electric fish in natural and laboratory settings [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2022 Recent technological advances greatly improved the possibility to study freely behaving animals in natural conditions. However, many systems still rely on animal-mounted devices, which can already bias behavioral observations.

Collective sensing in electric fish. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 A number of organisms, including dolphins, bats, and electric fish, possess sophisticated active sensory systems that use self-generated signals (e.g. acoustic or electrical emissions) to probe the environment1,2. Studies of active sensing in social groups have typically focused on strategies for minimizing interference from conspecific emissions2-4 ...

Omnidirectional electric fish. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2007 What could an African lion stalking a distant impala in the African savanna possibly have in common with an electric fish searching for nearby water fleas in the Amazon River? Both the lion and the rather less daunting 14-cm black ghost knifefish (Apteronotus albifrons) use sensory information to help them to locate and catch prey.

A new genome assembly of an African weakly electric fish (Campylomormyrus compressirostris, Mormyridae) indicates rapid gene family evolution in Osteoglossomorpha [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background Teleost fishes comprise more than half of the vertebrate species. Within teleosts, most phylogenies consider the split between Osteoglossomorpha and Euteleosteomorpha/Otomorpha as basal, preceded only by the derivation of the most primitive ...

Tracking spatial patterns and daily modulation of behavior in a natural population of the pulse-type weakly electric fish, Gymnotus omarorum [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Tracking individual spatial and activity-rest patterns in natural populations is challenging because it is seldom possible to monitor individual-specific traits continuously.

A History of Corollary Discharge: Contributions of Mormyrid Weakly Electric Fish [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 Corollary discharge is an important brain function that allows animals to distinguish external from self-generated signals, which is critical to sensorimotor coordination.

Improvement of Electric Fish Optimization Algorithm for Standstill Label Combined with Levy Flight Strategy [PDF]
BiomimeticsThe Electric Fish Optimization (EFO) algorithm is inspired by the predation behavior and communication of weak electric fish. It is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm that attracts researchers because it has few tunable parameters, high robustness, and ...
