The 89 pages that link to Lateral line, each with the reason it gives.

• ElectroreceptionCompared with: The lateral line and electroreceptors can operate together but register different physical cues.

• Ray-finned fishRelated: This system helps ray-finned fishes sense nearby objects and water currents.

• Ampullae of LorenziniCompared with: It shares a distributed skin-based layout with ampullae but detects mechanical rather than electrical stimuli.

• ActinopterygiiRelated: It helps ray-finned fishes sense nearby motion and obstacles underwater.

• MechanoreceptionBroader topic: Its hair-cell organs sense mechanical disturbances in surrounding water.

• TeleostRelated: This system helps teleosts sense nearby motion and local water flow.

• Great white sharkRelated: It senses disturbances made by prey, even when visibility is poor.

• TeleosteiRelated: It helps teleosts sense nearby prey, predators, and obstacles through water motion.

• Schooling (fish)Related: It can provide information about nearby fish and the flow their movement creates.

• EelRelated: This system helps eels sense nearby motion in dark or murky habitats.

• Fish anatomyRelated: It adds a specialized sensory network to the basic body plan.

• Jawless fishRelated: It helps aquatic jawless fish sense nearby motion without relying on vision alone.

• Amphibian metamorphosisRelated: The larval lateral line is remodeled or lost in many species during metamorphosis.

• RostrumRelated: It complements rostral electroreception when tracking nearby prey.

• VibrissaeCompared with: It senses water motion through body organs rather than projecting tactile hairs.

• BarbelRelated: It complements barbel touch by sensing water disturbances at a distance.

• LanternfishRelated: This system helps lanternfish sense motion in dark water.

• SalamanderRelated: Aquatic salamanders use this system to sense nearby motion underwater.

• Marine fishRelated: It helps fish sense nearby motion in dim, murky, or crowded water.

• PanderichthysRelated: Its grooves indicate Panderichthys retained aquatic sensory equipment despite its tetrapod-like traits.

• ChimaeraRelated: It helps chimaeras locate prey and orient themselves in dark water.

• Crocodilian sensory systemsCompared with: Crocodilians detect water movement through skin receptors rather than a fish-style lateral-line canal system.

• Thunniform locomotionRelated: It senses flow around the body and can inform swimming adjustments.

• CaecilianRelated: Aquatic caecilians can use this system to sense nearby water movements.

• CichlidRelated: This fish sensory system helps cichlids perceive surroundings and potential prey.

• Electric fishRelated: It complements electrical sensing by registering nearby motion and vibration.

• Mesopelagic fishRelated: It provides information about nearby prey and predators when vision is limited.

• SawfishRelated: It complements electroreception by sensing nearby prey movement and disturbances in water.

• ScombridaeRelated: Its development and course are among the anatomical traits used to describe scombrid fishes.

• TemnospondyliRelated: Grooves on temnospondyl skulls sometimes housed lateral-line organs, reflecting aquatic sensory adaptations.

• ClupeidaeRelated: Its sensory role helps schooling fish respond to nearby movement.

• Fishing lureRelated: It can register the water disturbances produced by moving or vibrating lures.

• IchthyologyBroader topic: It helps fishes sense nearby motion and navigate through water.

• Northern pikeRelated: It helps pike detect nearby prey, including in dim or murky water.

• PteraspidomorphiRelated: Canals and sensory openings in fossil armor indicate how pteraspidomorphs sensed nearby movement.

• ViperfishRelated: This sensory system helps fishes detect nearby movement in darkness.

• WalleyeRelated: It helps walleye detect nearby prey and movement in water with limited visibility.

• FlatfishRelated: It helps flatfish detect nearby prey and disturbances while their bodies remain concealed.

• HaddockRelated: Haddock’s dark lateral line is a visible feature used to distinguish it from some relatives.

• Three-spined sticklebackRelated: This system helps sticklebacks detect nearby prey and predators in water.

• Adipose finRelated: Proposed sensory roles for the fin include modifying flow cues detected by this system.

• EarCompared with: It detects fluid motion externally, unlike the ear’s specialized inner-ear motion receptors.

• GadiformesRelated: It helps gadiforms sense nearby prey and environmental movement underwater.

• Hammerhead sharkRelated: It complements hammerheads’ other senses when locating prey.

• OarfishRelated: Like other fishes, oarfish can use this system to sense nearby motion in dark water.

• Requiem sharkRelated: It helps these sharks sense movement around them, especially at close range.

• XenopusRelated: Xenopus larvae use this system to sense movement in their aquatic environment.

• Chinese giant salamanderRelated: It helps detect nearby prey and disturbances in murky streams.

• Goblin sharkRelated: It provides another route for sensing prey and water movement in the deep sea.

• Greenland sharkRelated: It can detect nearby motion in dark, low-visibility habitat.
