Electroreception types and taxonomic distribution

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Electroreception can be active, involving generation of electric fields, or passive, just sensing external fields. Some electroreceptive fish in different taxonomic groups are also electric, able to generate strong enough shocks to stun or kill prey. The stargazers are electric but not electroreceptive. Most electroreceptive animals are fish, using Ampullae of Lorenzini modified from the sensitive Lateral Line; some amphibians also have these organs. Finally, the Monotreme mammals, the echidnas and the platypus, have electroreceptive organs not homologous with Ampullae of Lorenzini.
