About: Mormyrinae

An Entity of Type: insect, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The subfamily Mormyrinae contains all but one of the genera of the African freshwater fish family Mormyridae in the order Osteoglossiformes. They are often called elephantfish due to a long protrusion below their mouths used to detect buried invertebrates that is suggestive of a tusk or trunk (some such as Marcusenius senegalensis gracilis are sometimes called Trunkfish though this term is usually associated with an unrelated group of fish). They can also be called tapirfish. Mormyrinae is the largest subfamily in the Osteoglossiformes order with around 170 species.

dbo:abstract
  • Els mormirins (Mormyrinae) són una subfamília de peixos teleostis de l'ordre dels osteoglossiformes. Conté gairebé tots els gèneres de la família Mormyridae, excepte els que pertanyent a la subfamília Petrocephalinae, constituint-se en una de majors subfamílies de l'ordre Osteoglossiformes, amb aproximadament 170 espècies distribuïdes en 19 gèneres. Normalment són anomenats peixos elefant causa de la llarga protuberància flexible a la mandíbula inferior que utilitzen per detectar invertebrats enterrats. (ca)
  • Die Mormyrinae sind eine Unterfamilie afrikanischer Süßwasserfische aus der Familie der Nilhechte (Mormyridae). Im Deutschen werden sie, je nach Körper- und Schnauzenform, Elefantenfische oder Nilhechte genannt. (de)
  • La subfamilia Mormyrinae contiene casi todos los géneros de la familia de peces africanos de agua dulce Mormyridae —salvo aquella perteneciente a la subfamilia Petrocephalinae—, constituyéndose en una de las mayores subfamilias en el orden de Osteoglossiformes, con aproximadamente 170 especies distribuidas en 19 géneros.​ Comúnmente son llamados peces elefante debido a la larga protuberancia flexible en la mandíbula inferior, y que es utilizada para detectar invertebrados enterrados.​ Dicha extensión mandibular aparenta la forma de un colmillo o un cofre —similares al Marcusenius senegalensis gracilis, que a veces es llamado pez cofre, aunque este término se asocia generalmente con un grupo de peces no relacionado—. Esta subfamilia también es llamada peces tapir. (es)

They can also be called tapirfish. Fish in this subfamily have a high brain to body mass ratio due to an expanded cerebellum (called a gigantocerebellum) used in their electroperception. Linked to this they are notable for holding the zoological record at around 60% as the brains that consume the most energy as a percentage of the body's metabolic rate of any animal. Previous to this discovery, it was the “human brain, which had been thought to hold the record in this respect”.p. 605 The human brain in comparison uses only 20%. Mormyrinae is the largest subfamily in the Osteoglossiformes order with around 170 species. (en)
