electroreception

They have a very unique specialized system of electroreception.

Electroreception is the biological ability to perceive natural electrical stimuli.

Second, there is a loss of electroreception in amniotes.

By doing this, both fish prevent jamming of their sense of electroreception.

The platypus' electroreception is the most sensitive of any monotreme.

Like other sharks it is capable of electroreception to detect its preys.

The Siluriphysi are characterized by many derived traits, including notably, electroreception.

Until recently, electroreception was known only in vertebrates.

Electroreception is used in electrolocation (detecting objects) and for electrocommunication.

Sense organs specialized for electroreception have only been found among vertebrates, and around 8.600 species are known to be electroreceptive.

Passive electroreception is carried out solely by ampullary electroreceptors in fish.

Instead, it relies on electroreception via its ampullae of Lorenzini to locate food.

Jamming Avoidance Response, a behavior of some weakly electric fish using electroreception.

Although electroreception certainly plays a role in locating prey, this species has only 148 ampullae of Lorenzini.

The functional roles of passive electroreception in non-electric fishes.

It likely relies mainly on vision and electroreception to find food, and less on smell.

In most groups electroreception is passive, where it is used predominantly in predation.

Fish use passive electroreception to supplement or replace their other senses when detecting prey and predators.

Anatomy of the specialized lateral line organs of electroreception.

The structure on the lower lip of S. labiatus has been speculated to function in electroreception for locating prey.

Furthermore, some non-human animals have been shown to possess alternate senses, including magnetoception and electroreception.

Another type of electric field detected in electroreception is DC field potentials.

This enlarged cerebellum links to their electroreception.

Non-human animals may possess senses that are absent in humans, such as electroreception and detection of polarized light.

Besides hearing and vision, at least one species, the tucuxi or Guiana dolphin, is able to use electroreception to sense prey.
