Journal ArticleDOI

The complete genome sequence of Chromobacterium violaceum reveals remarkable and exploitable bacterial adaptability

Ana Tereza Ribeiro de Vasconcelos, +97 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence reveals extensive alternative pathways for energy generation, complex and extensive systems for stress adaptation and motility, and widespread utilization of quorum sensing for control of inducible systems, all of which underpin the versatility and adaptability of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systematic biology of gymnotiform and mormyriform electric fishes: phylogenetic relationships, molecular clocks and rates of evolution in the mitochondrial rRNA genes

TL;DR: The phylogenetic relationships of both African and South American electric fish orders are reviewed at their intra-ordinal level taking into consideration recent studies in which cladistic principles have been employed, but some unsettled issues still remain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolution of electroreception and bioelectrogenesis in teleost fish: a phylogenetic perspective

TL;DR: It is suggested that plesiomorphic electric organ discharges (EODs) possessed a frequency spectrum that fully transgressed the tuning curve of ampullary receptors, i.e. a signal such as a long lasting monophasic pulse that appeared as a derived condition among electric fish.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenetic comparative analysis of electric communication signals in ghost knifefishes (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae).

TL;DR: Electrocommunication signals in electric fish are diverse, easily recorded and have well-characterized neural control, but interspecific correlations between chirp parameters suggest that mechanistic trade-offs may shape some aspects of signal evolution.
