DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.05.012
Abstract: Molecular variation contributes to the evolution of adaptive phenotypes, though it is often difficult to understand precisely how. The adaptively significant electric organ discharge behavior of weakly electric fish is the direct result of biophysical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.nanoen.2019.104365
Abstract: Abstract Actuators are energy-conversion devices, which convert different types of energy (e.g. light, electricity and heat) into mechanical energy and exhibit shape-deformations. They have significant applications in artificial muscles, soft robot, etc. However, most of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/mf18459
Abstract: Dyke-based pumping stations have been linked with high fish mortalities during pumping events. Behavioural barriers like electric fish fences have been proposed as a promising solution to prevent entrainment of fish into pumps. In order… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abm2970
Abstract: South American and African weakly electric fish independently evolved electric organs from muscle. In both groups, a voltage-gated sodium channel gene independently lost expression from muscle and gained it in the electric organ, allowing the… read more here.

Chirping and asymmetric jamming avoidance responses in the electric fish Distocyclus conirostris

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.178913
Abstract: ABSTRACT Electrosensory systems of weakly electric fish must accommodate competing demands of sensing the environment (electrolocation) and receiving social information (electrocommunication). The jamming avoidance response (JAR) is a behavioral strategy thought to reduce electrosensory interference… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2018.00001
Abstract: Dominant-subordinate status emerges from agonistic encounters. The weakly electric fish, Gymnotus omarorum, displays a clear-cut example of non-breeding territorial aggression. The asymmetry in the behavior of dominants and subordinates is outstanding. Dominants are highly aggressive… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.985473
Abstract: Emile Du Bois-Reymond pioneered scientific electrophysiology in parallel with 19thcentury studies on various electric fish that underlie the great development of modern electrophysiology (Piccolino, 1997; Piccolino, 2011). Dom Pedro II, Brazilian Emperor, on his second… read more here.

Electrocommunication for weakly electric fish
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Inverse Problems and Imaging"
DOI: 10.3934/ipi.2019065
Abstract: 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. Our main… read more here.
