Magic trait Electric Organ Discharge (EOD) <subtitle>Dual function of electric signals promotes speciation in African weakly electric fish</subtitle>

A unique evolutionary specialization of African weakly electric fish (Mormyridae) is their ability to produce and perceive electric signals. Mormyrids use their Electric Organs Discharge (EOD) for electrolocation and electrocommunication. Here we discuss the adaptive significance of the EOD in forag...
