Waveform Sensors: The Next Challenge in Biomimetic Electroreception [PDF]
, 2017 The interest in developing bioinspired electric sensors increased after the rising use of electric fields as image carriers in underwater robots and medical devices using artificial electroreception (electrotomography and electric catheterism).

Comparative cranial morphology in living and extinct platypuses: Feeding behavior, electroreception, and loss of teeth [PDF]
Science Advances, 2016 Comparative morphology in living and extinct platypuses revealed that there was a shift in feeding behavior and sensory efficiency. The modern platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, has an eye structure similar to aquatic mammals; however, platypuses also ...

Electroreception, electrogenesis and electric signal evolution. [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2019 Electroreception, the capacity to detect external underwater electric fields with specialised receptors, is a phylogenetically widespread sensory modality in fishes and amphibians. In passive electroreception, a capacity possessed by c.

ELECTRORECEPTION AKIN TO TOUCH [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 ![Figure][1] Sheltering under rafts of camalote leaves floating along South American rivers, Gymnotus omarorum fish hunt their prey amongst the lilies' roots. However, these predators do not rely on vision when trapping their victims.

Molecular tuning of electroreception in sharks and skates
Nature, 2018 Ancient cartilaginous vertebrates, such as sharks, skates and rays, possess specialized electrosensory organs that detect weak electric fields and relay this information to the central nervous system1–4. Sharks exploit this sensory modality for predation,

Head anatomy of a lantern shark wet-collection specimen (Chondrichthyes: Etmopteridae). [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 In this study, we present a two‐step micro‐computed tomography array to a 39‐year‐old wet‐collection Lantern Shark specimen of Etmopterus lucifer. The focus of our scanning approach is the head anatomy showing numerous internal structures, for example the ampullae of Lorenzini, the olfactory system and major brain areas.

Gene expression, evolution, and the genetics of electrosensing in the smalltooth sawfish, Pristis pectinata. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSawfishes (Pristidae) are large, highly threatened rays named for their tooth‐studded rostrum, which is used for prey sensing and capture. To better understand the genetic underpinnings of these unique animals, we used RNA‐seq data from multiple tissues to annotate a publicly available genome and compared this data to other elasmobranchs.
