Influence of water temperature on the electric organ discharge (EOD) of the weakly electric fish Marcusenius cyprinoides (Mormyridae).
1. The influence of different water temperatures on the electric organ discharge (EOD) of a mormyrid fish Marcusenius cyprinoïdes was studied. The range of the water temperatures was fixed according to the seasonal temperature variations of the rivers in Central Africa, the natural habitat of this species. 2. The EOD activity was characterized using the following parameters: mean EOD rate, EOD ...
متن کاملModeling Active Electrolocation in Weakly Electric Fish
In this paper, we provide a mathematical model for the electrolocation in weakly electric fishes. We first investigate the forward complex conductivity problem and derive the approximate boundary conditions on the skin of the fish. Then we provide a dipole approximation for small targets away from the fish. Based on this approximation, we obtain a non-iterative location search algorithm using m...
متن کاملModeling the electric field of weakly electric fish.
Weakly electric fish characterize the environment in which they live by sensing distortions in their self-generated electric field. These distortions result in electric images forming across their skin. In order to better understand electric field generation and image formation in one particular species of electric fish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus, we have developed three different numerical mod...
متن کاملChirping response of weakly electric knife fish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) to low-frequency electric signals and to heterospecific electric fish.
Brown ghost knife fish (Apteronotus leptorhynchus) can briefly increase their electric organ discharge (EOD) frequency to produce electrocommunication signals termed chirps. The chirp rate increases when fish are presented with conspecific fish or high-frequency (700-1100 Hz) electric signals that mimic conspecific fish. We examined whether A. leptorhynchus also chirps in response to artificial...
متن کاملSensory hyperacuity in the jamming avoidance response of weakly electric fish.
Sensory systems often show remarkable sensitivities to small stimulus parameters. Weakly electric fish are able to resolve intensity differences of the order of 0.1% and timing differences of the order of nanoseconds during an electrical behavior, the jamming avoidance response. The neuronal origin of this extraordinary sensitivity is being studied within the exceptionally well understood centr...
