The role of electronsensory signals on the locomotor performance of the weakly electric fish apteronotus albifrons
… and group movement is largely unknown. Apteronotus albifrons is a well-known model in neuroethological studies of signal processing and locomotion control that relies mostly on visual inputs but can switch to electric sense in low illumination levels to navigate and interact with the …

Electrosensory-based Search Strategies In Weakly Electric Fish
… of two species of weakly electric fish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus and Apteronotus albifrons, in a laboratory setting. Our results suggest that there are behavioural differences between species in their exploratory strategies. Apteronotus albifrons spent more time in the open, travelled at …

The contribution of the pectoral fins, body, and the ribbon fin to turning maneuvers of a gymnotiform swimmer
… the weakly electric Black ghost knifefish (<em>Apteronotus albifrons</em>: Apteronotidae) with an atypical control surface, namely a ribbon fin. To investigate how a fish with an atypical control surface performs turning maneuvers, <em>A. albifrons</em> was filmed performing small and large …

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT MODULATES THE FUNCTION AND NEUROENDOCRINE REGULATION OF ELECTROCOMMUNICATION SIGNALS ACROSS SPECIES OF APTERONOTID FISHES
… species that vary in sociality: territorial Apteronotus albifrons, semi-social Apteronotus leptorhynchus, and gregarious Adontosternarchus balaenops. I recorded fish overnight in isolation, in same-sex pairs, and in opposite-sex pairs. I collected blood and brains to measure circulating …
