The diversity and evolution of electric organs in Neotropical knifefishes
EvoDevo, 2022 The Gymnotiformes, also known as the South American or Neotropical knifefishes, include the strongly electric Electrophorus electricus and many other weakly electric species.

First record of Gymnotus henni (Albert, Crampton and Maldonado, 2003) in Panama: phylogenetic position and electric signal characterization [PDF]
Check List, 2013 We present the first record of the weakly electric fish Gymnotus henni in Panama, which also represents the first record of Gymnotus in the Pacific slope of the country. One specimen was collected in a tributary of the Chucunaque River in the Tuira basin.

Flight-associated discharge pattern in a weakly electric fish, Gnathonemus petersii (Mormyridae, Teleostei) [PDF]
, 1976 A Gnathonemus petersii which is put into the tank of a Mortnyrtts rume, or of an electrically silenced G. petersii, displays a discharge rate which is only one fourth (8 Hz) the rate exhibited by an attacking, territory-defending animal.

The energetics of electric organ discharge generation in gymnotiform weakly electric fish [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2013 SummaryGymnotiform weakly electric fish produce an electric signal to sense their environment and communicate with conspecifics. Although the generation of such relatively large electric signals over an entire lifetime is expected to be energetically costly, supporting evidence to date is equivocal.

Intra- versus inter-sexual selection in the dimorphic electric organ discharges of the snoutfish Marcusenius altisambesi (Mormyriformes, Teleostei) [PDF]
, 2010 Marcusenius pongolensis (South Africa) and M. altisambesi (Upper Zambezi/Okavango) differ in the sex difference of their electric organ discharges (EODs). It is permanent and graded in the former and seasonally dimorphic in the latter.

Partial Discharge Behaviour within Two Spherical Cavities in a Dielectric Material [PDF]
, 2011 In high voltage insulation systems, a typical defect that exists is a void cavity. It is known that voids are a common source of partial discharge (PD) activity within an insulation system.

Waveform Discrimination in the Electric Fish Eigenmannia: Sensitivity for the Phase Differences Between the Spectral Components of a Stimulus Wave [PDF]
, 1991 Eigenmannia lineata is a tropical South American gymnotiform fish that is both electrogenic and electroreceptive. Its electric organ generates a constant-frequency wave discharge (EOD) that is sexually dimorphic in waveform and harmonic content ...
