Biology and behavior of <i>Eigenmannia vicentespelaea</i>, a troglobitic electric fish from Brazil (Teleostei: Gymnotiformes: Sternopygidae): a comparison to the epigean species, <i>E. trilineata</i>, and the consequences of cave life
We compared the behavior, including spatial distribution, reaction to stimuli, activity phases, and agonistic interactions, as well as diet and reproduction, of the troglobitic Eigenmannia vicentespelaea and that of its epigean relative, E. trilineata, both from São Domingos karst area, central Bra...
