Adaptive shift of active electroreception in weakly electric fish for troglobitic life

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Preoptic Area Activation and Vasotocin Involvement in the Reproductive Behavior of a Weakly Pulse-Type Electric Fish, Brachyhypopomus gauderio

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019
Social behavior exhibits a wide diversity among vertebrates though it is controlled by a conserved neural network, the social behavior network (SBN). The activity of the SBN is shaped by hypothalamic nonapeptides of the vasopressin-oxytocin family.

Studied on Detection Methods and Changes of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Instant Roasted Fish with Different Processes

open access: yesShipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Objective: In order to establish the detection method for 16 kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in instant roasted fish, the effects of different cooking methods on the types and contents of PAHs in roast fish were analyzed.

Population Coding and Correlated Variability in Electrosensory Pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2018
The fact that perception and behavior depend on the simultaneous and coordinated activity of neural populations is well established. Understanding encoding through neuronal population activity is however complicated by the statistical dependencies ...

A JAR of Chirps: The Gymnotiform Chirp Can Function as Both a Communication Signal and a Jamming Avoidance Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019
The weakly electric gymnotiform fish produce a rhythmic electric organ discharge (EOD) used for communication and active electrolocation. The EOD frequency is entrained to a medullary pacemaker nucleus. During communication and exploration, this rate can

Dimorfismo sexual em Siluriformes e Gymnotiformes (Ostariophysi) da Amazônia Sexual dimorfism in Amazonian Siluriformes and Gymnotiformes (Ostariophysi)

open access: yesActa Amazonica, 2005
No presente trabalho é feito um levantamento dos casos de dimorfismo sexual em Siluriformes e Gymnotiformes. Este levantamento se restringe às formas Neotropicais, com ênfase mais especificamente, às da Amazônia.

Social interactions between live and artificial weakly electric fish: Electrocommunication and locomotor behavior of Mormyrus rume proboscirostris towards a mobile dummy fish. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Mormyrid weakly electric fish produce short, pulse-type electric organ discharges for actively probing their environment and to communicate with conspecifics.

Magic trait Electric Organ Discharge (EOD) Dual function of electric signals promotes speciation in African weakly electric fish

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2009
A unique evolutionary specialization of African weakly electric fish (Mormyridae) is their ability to produce and perceive electric signals. Mormyrids use their Electric Organs Discharge (EOD) for electrolocation and electrocommunication. Here we discuss
