Electric Killers [EPUB ebook] 

Support

‘Electric Killers’ unveils the captivating world of electric animals, exploring how diverse species generate and sense electric fields. This book highlights the remarkable adaptations of aquatic species, focusing on electrogenesis—the ability to produce electricity—and electroreception, the capacity to perceive electric fields. Discover how these unique abilities aid in navigation, communication, hunting, and defense, providing a fascinating look into animal physiology and behavior.

The book dives into the biological processes behind electric organ discharge, detailing the cellular and molecular adaptations that enable these animals to generate powerful electric fields. It also examines the ecological roles of these electric capabilities, focusing on predator-prey interactions and communication strategies.

One intriguing insight is that electric capabilities represent a remarkable case of convergent evolution, where unrelated species independently develop similar mechanisms due to similar environmental pressures.

Structured for accessibility, ‘Electric Killers’ begins with fundamental principles of bioelectricity. It progresses through specific examples of electric fish like eels and rays, detailing their anatomy and behavior, and culminates with a discussion of the evolutionary origins of electrogenesis and electroreception.

This approach integrates diverse scientific fields, offering a holistic view valuable to students, researchers, and anyone fascinated by the wonders of biology and natural history.
