Amazon Nights II: Electric Boogaloo Neural adaptations for communication in three species of weakly electric fish Kathryne Allen Sensory systems are the tools by which organisms collect information about the environment. The environments that these systems have evolved to function within shape how they accomplish this task, as each has its own challenges in regards to noise and physical limits of transmission media. In this dissertation, I examine how a unique sensory system, the electrosensory system of three species of weakly electric fishes, is adapted to accomplish the specific task of detecting and accurately encoding conspecific communication. Communication is useful lens for studying how salient signals are filtered from confounding noise and how coding strategies are adapted across species. I specifically show that the physical structure of a signal can dictate how it is encoded by the sensory system, and further demonstrate that different coding strategies are correlated with different perceptual abilities. I then examine how the behavioral use and ethological significance of communication signals also changes which coding strategies are used to encode those signals. Finally, I show that the social context in which signals are received can influence which coding strategies are adopted.
