Key Points
Electric eels utilize bioelectricity for predation and communication, influencing their ecological roles.
In a study of electric eels, 93% of predatory behaviors were linked to electric discharges, showcasing their hunting efficiency.
Observation of electric fields demonstrated how electric eels use electroreceptors for navigation and prey detection.
Insights into electric eel behavior may inform broader ecological understanding of aquatic communication systems.
