Neural circuitry for communication and jamming avoidance in gymnotiform electric fish

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, research on the neural basis of communication and jamming avoidance in gymnotiform electric fish has concentrated on comparative studies of the premotor control of these behaviors, on the sensory processing of communication signals and on their control through the endocrine system, and tackled the question ...

Electric signals and species recognition in gymnotiform fish

2010
Gymnotiformes are South American weakly electric fish that produce weak electric organ discharges (EOD) for orientation, foraging and communication purposes. Because EOD properties vary widely across species, electric signals could serve a species recognition function. We quantified the electric signals of various species and used discriminant function

Gymnotiform fish: an important component of Amazonian fioodplain fish communities

Journal of Fish Biology, 1996
Estimates of the density, biomass and species diversity of fish from floating meadow and flooded forest habitats suggest that gymnotiform fish constitute an important component of Amazonian flood plain fish faunas. Electric eels, Electrophorus electricus are unexpectedly abundant within Varzea forest.
