Electroreception, the capacity to detect external underwater electric fields with specialised
receptors, is a phylogenetically widespread sensory modality in fishes and amphibians. In …

Gymnotiform weakly electric fish produce an electric signal to sense their environment and
communicate with conspecifics. Although the generation of such relatively large electric …

To understand the evolution of sexually dimorphic communication signals, we must quantify
their costs, including their energetic costs, the regulation of these costs, and the difference …

The electric organ discharge (EOD) of weakly electric fish encodes information about
species, sex, behavioral, and physiological states throughout the lifetime. Its central …

This study was carried out in Uruguay (30–35° S), South America, with two complementary
approaches. First, an extensive exploration of Uruguayan freshwaters allowed us to assess …

Weakly electric gymnotiform and mormyrid fish generate and detect weak electric fields to
image their worlds and communicate. These multi-purpose electric signals are generated by …

In contrast to most of the previous studies in gymnotiform reproduction, which have been
conducted in the tropical region, this study examines a gymnotid from the temperate region …

Many electric fish produce sexually dimorphic electric organ discharges. Although electric
organ discharges are comprised of action potentials, those of the Gymnotiform family …

Weakly electric fish have long been known to express day–night oscillations in their
discharge rates, and in the amplitude and duration of individual electric organ discharges …
