While animals track or search for targets, sensory organs make small unexplained
movements on top of the primary task-related motions. While multiple theories for these …

Sound-producing and moving objects present a wide range of hydrodynamic and acoustic
stimuli. The mechanosensory lateral line and inner ear of fishes share an evolutionary …

Cortical activity precedes self-initiated movements by several seconds in mammals; this
observation has led into inquiries on the nature of volition. Preparatory neural activity is …

Weakly electric fish use electroreception for both active and passive electrolocation and for
electrocommunication. While both active and passive electrolocation systems are prominent …

Long-term behavioral tracking can capture and quantify natural animal behaviors, including
those occurring infrequently. Behaviors such as exploration and social interactions can be …

Background Electric fish navigate and explore their dark and turbid environment with a
specialised electric sense. This active electrolocation involves the generation and …

African mormyrid fishes are by far the most diverse group of osteoglossomorph (bony
tongue) fishes. Mormyrids communicate using pulses of electricity, and they process electric …

Weakly electric fish use electrosensory, visual, olfactory and lateral line information to guide
foraging and navigation behaviors. In many cases they preferentially rely on electrosensory …

The octavolateralis systems of fishes include the vestibular, auditory, lateral line and
electrosensory systems. They are united by common developmental and neuro …

In coastal ecosystems, attributes of fluid motion can prompt animal larvae to rise or sink in
the water column and to select microhabitats within which they attach and commit to a …
