Journal ArticleDOI
The lateral line can mediate rheotaxis in fish
TL;DR: Here it is provided a direct demonstration that rheotaxis can be mediated by the lateral line, and indeed by one specific receptor class of this system, and that superficial neuromasts make an important contribution to rheOTactic behaviour in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and function of the vertebrate magnetic sense
Michael M. Walker,Carol E. Diebel,Cordula V. Haugh,P.M. Pankhurst,P.M. Pankhurst,John C. Montgomery,Colin R. Green +6 more
TL;DR: The key components of a magnetic sense underpinning this navigational ability in a single species, the rainbow trout are described and an area in the nose of the trout where candidate magnetoreceptor cells are located is identified.
Book ChapterDOI
Sound as an Orientation Cue for the Pelagic Larvae of Reef Fishes and Decapod Crustaceans
TL;DR: A diverse series of field experiments including light-trap catches enhanced by replayed reef sound, in situ observations of behaviour and sound-enhanced settlement rate on patch reefs collectively provide a compelling case that sound is used as an orientation and settlement cue for these late larval stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Generation and Subtraction of Sensory Expectations within Cerebellum-Like Structures
TL;DR: The generation of sensory expectations within cerebellum-like structures of four distinct groups of fishes, including Mormyridae; Rajidae; Scorpaenidae; and Apteronotidae, is described and it is indicated that the negative image is probably generated by means of anti-Hebbian synaptic plasticity at the parallel fiber to principal cell synapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient sound as a cue for navigation by the pelagic larvae of reef fishes
TL;DR: Light traps and underwater loudspeakers used to determine whether reef fish larvae are attracted to sounds produced on a reef caught more triplefin larvae than did silent traps, demonstrating that the larvae of some reef fishes may use sound as a navigational cue in the field.
