... the temporal structure. The ABRs of P. costatus and B. modesta also represent amplitude patterns of conspecific sounds. By contrast, ABRs of the sunfish Lepomis gibbosus , a hearing non-specialist, consisted of long series of waves that could not be attributed to specific sound pulses. A more detailed analysis...

... and the mechanical properties of the body. Using pumpkinseed sunfish, Lepomis gibbosus , we investigated the mechanics of undulatory swimming by comparing the swimming kinematics of live sunfish with the kinematics of dead sunfish made to swim using electrical stimulation. In electrically stimulated sunfish...

...Howard I. Browman; Iñigo Novales-Flamarique; Craig W. Hawryshyn ABSTRACT We tested the hypothesis that ultraviolet photoreception contributes to prey search in small juvenile rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) and pumpkinseed sunfish ( Lepomis gibbosus ) while foraging on Daphnia pulex . Small...

... invertebrates (e.g. Lepomis gibbosus feeding on benthic insects and snails). Dramatic interspecific differences exist in the magnitude of negative pressures generated during the strike and in the relationship between minimum pressures in the buccal and opercular cavities ( Lauder, 1983 b...
