摘 要:The mechanosensory lateral line is found in all aquatic fish and *** provides a highly sensitive and versatile hydrodynamic sense that is used in a wide range of *** stimuli of biological interest originate from both abiotic and biotic sources,and include water currents,turbulence and the water disturbances caused by other animals,such as prey,predators and ***,the detection of biologically important stimuli often has to occur against a background of noise generated by water movement,or movement of the fish *** such,separating signal and noise is“of the essencein understanding the behavior and physiology of *** we discuss general issues of signal and noise in the lateral-line system and the behavioral and physiological strategies that are used by fish to enhance signal detection in a noisy *** order for signal and noise to be separated,they need to differ,and we will consider those differences under the headings of:frequency and temporal pattern;intensity discrimination;spatial separation;and mechanisms for the reduction of self-generated *** systematically cover the issues of signal and noise in lateral-line systems,but emphasize recent work on self-generated noise,and signal and noise issues related to prey search strategies and collision avoidance.
