Electroreception and electrolocation in platypus

open access: yesNature, 1986
Electroreceptors with sensitivity in the microvolt range, which mainly function to detect live prey, are well known in phylogenetically old fishes and some amphibians. In African mormyriform and South American gymnotiform fishes this sense has evolved to an active system using an electric organ as a source for impedance measurement of the environment ...

Electroreceptors in the platypus

Nature, 1987
It has been known since the last century that the bill of the platypus contains densely packed arrays of specialized receptor organs and their afferent nerves. Until recently these were thought to be largely mechanoreceptive in function. However Scheich et al. provide both behavioural and electrophysiological evidence that there are electroreceptors in

Platypus

2007
Since it first became known to European scientists and naturalists in 1798, the platypus has been the subject of controversy, interest and absolute wonder. Found only in Australia, the platypus is a mammal that lays eggs but, like other mammals, it has fur and suckles its young on milk.

Early response of the platypus to climate warming

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2011
Combining a climatic envelope modelling technique with more than two centuries (1800–2009) of distribution records has revealed the effects of a changing climate on the egg-laying monotreme, the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus.

PLATyPus: experimenting with TINA

IEEE Communications Magazine, 1994
Presents some of the basic Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture (TINA) concepts and discusses the platform for TINA Prototyping (PLATyPus), an experimental implementation of TINA. TINA will provide a framework for telecommunications software in the future and is currently being specified by the TINA Consortium (TINA-C).
