Theoretical analysis of pre-receptor image conditioning in weakly electric fish. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2005 Electroreceptive fish detect nearby objects by processing the information contained in the pattern of electric currents through the skin. The distribution of local transepidermal voltage or current density on the sensory surface of the fish's skin is the

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 A unique evolutionary specialization of African weakly electric fish (Mormyridae) is their ability to produce and perceive electric signals. Mormyrids use their Electric Organs Discharge (EOD) for electrolocation and electrocommunication. Here we discuss

Predation and Crypsis in the Evolution of Electric Signaling in Weakly Electric Fishes
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Eavesdropping by electroreceptive predators poses a conflict for weakly electric fish, which depend on their Electric Organ Discharge (EOD) signals both for navigation and communication in the dark.

Male-mediated species recognition among African weakly electric fishes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Effective communication among sympatric species is often instrumental for behavioural isolation, where the failure to successfully discriminate between potential mates could lead to less fit hybrid offspring.

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.

Automatic realistic real time stimulation/recording in weakly electric fish: long time behavior characterization in freely swimming fish and stimuli discrimination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Weakly electric fish are unique model systems in neuroethology, that allow experimentalists to non-invasively, access, central nervous system generated spatio-temporal electric patterns of pulses with roles in at least 2 complex and incompletely ...

Electrosensory and Metabolic Responses of Weakly Electric Fish to Changing Water Conductivity [PDF]
, 2022 South American weakly electric fishes (Gymnotiformes) use self-generated electric fields, known as electric organ discharges (EODs), for sensory processes such as navigation and communication. EOD production incurs significant metabolic costs that can be
