Recent aspects on possible interrelation between precursory electric signals and anomalous bioeffects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A possible geophysical mechanism based on the conception of criticality and on new aspects of biological effects caused by electromagnetic fields is discussed as a stimulus to the unusual animal behavior prior to large earthquakes.

The Role of Landscapes and Landmarks in Bee Navigation: A Review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The ability of animals to explore landmarks in their environment is essential to their fitness. Landmarks are widely recognized to play a key role in navigation by providing information in multiple sensory modalities. However, what is a landmark?

Connections of the corpus cerebelli in the green sunfish and the common goldfish [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Examination of the connections of the corpus cerebelli in one perciform (Lepomis cyanellus) and one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) reveal that ipsilateral afferent connections in both species arise from an anterior group of nuclei in the ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Ion channels and transporters in the electroreceptive ampullary epithelium from skates [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Two ampullary epithelial properties necessary for electroreception were used to identify the types of ion channels and transporters found in apical and basal membranes of ampullary receptor cells of skates and to assess their individual role under ...

Body Size and Thermal Sensitivity of a Facultative Air‐Breathing Fish Amidst Environmental Change

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 3, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Many freshwater fish populations are increasingly required to respond to warming waters and low dissolved oxygen concentrations as a result of land‐use change and climate change. In addition, the average size of fish in harvested populations can be drastically reduced due to heavy fishing pressure.

Electrocommunication for weakly electric fish

open access: yes, 2019
This paper addresses the problem of the electro-communication for weakly electric fish. In particular we aim at sheding light on how the fish circumvent the jamming issue for both electro-communication and active electro-sensing.

Separability of drag and thrust in undulatory animals and machines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
For nearly a century, researchers have tried to understand the swimming of aquatic animals in terms of a balance between the forward thrust from swimming movements and drag on the body.

Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

Frequency tuning in the electroreceptive periphery

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 1989
Our studies are concerned with the frequency tuning that is provided by the electrical resonance of tuberous electroreceptors. Frequency selectivity had previously been measured in the electroreceptor's afferent fibers, and resonant conductances in the electroreceptor cell membrane had been implicated in producing the selectivity.
