Computational modeling of electric imaging in weakly electric fish: Insights for physiology, behavior and evolution
Publication date: Available online 19 September 2014 Source:Journal of Physiology-Paris Author(s): Leonel Gómez-Sena , Federico Pedraja , Juan I. Sanguinetti-Scheck , Ruben Budelli Weakly electric fish can sense electric signals produced by other animals whether they are conspecifics, preys or predators. These signals, sensed by passive electroreception, sustain electrocommunication, mating and agonistic behavior. Weakly electric fish can also generate a weak electrical discharge with which they can actively sense the animate and inanimate objects in their surroundings. Understanding both sensory modalities depend...
