...J. H. Tiarks; Suzanne M. Gray; Lauren J. Chapman ABSTRACT Natural variation in environmental turbidity correlates with variation in the visual sensory system of many fishes, suggesting that turbidity may act as a strong selective agent on visual systems. Since many aquatic systems experience...

... the sensory basis for this underappreciated behavior of larval fish. A strong candidate is the mechanosensory lateral line, a hair cell-based sensory system that detects hydrodynamic information from sources such as water currents, predators, prey and surface waves. However, a role for the lateral line...

... the animal often must. One way that nervous systems can solve this problem is to provide movement-related signals (copies of motor commands and sensory feedback) to sensory systems, which can then be used to generate predictions that oppose or cancel out sensory responses to reafference. Here, we studied...

... of a hydrodynamic sensory system, the ratio between a hydrodynamic event (the signal) and the hydrodynamic background noise can be calculated. This signal-to-noise ratio has not yet been quantified for the mammalian vibrissal system; the present study provides a first approach. The best approach to calculate...

...A. R. Wark; C. L. Peichel SUMMARY The lateral line is a mechanoreceptive sensory system that allows fish to sense objects and motion in their local environment. Variation in lateral line morphology may allow fish in different habitats to differentially sense and respond to salient cues. Threespine...
