Zusammenfassung

Während des agonistischen Verhaltens beantwortetG. petersii elektrische Organentladungen einesM. rume statistisch bevorzugt nach einer Latenzzeit von nur ca. 11 msec. Dies deutet auf die Existenz einer besonders raschen Reflexbahn hin, deren spezifische Aufgabe offenbar die Wahrnehmung und Beantwortung elektrischer Fremdsignale ist.
