The cochlea and semicircular canals (SCCs) of the inner ear are vital neurosensory devices.
There are associations between the anatomy of these sensorineural structures, their …

The bony labyrinth provides a proxy for the morphology of the inner ear, a primary cognitive
organ involved in hearing, body perception in space, and balance in vertebrates. Bony …

The cavity system of the inner ear of mammals is a complex three‐dimensional structure that
houses the organs of equilibrium and hearing. Morphological variation of the inner ear …

Using high resolution X‐ray computed tomography data we examined the relationship
between cochlear labyrinth volume and body mass in extant, non‐primate …

Additional reliable anatomical markers are needed for differentiating archaeological wolves
and dogs, to support clarifying the origin (s) of dogs. Candidate structures should have good …

The shape of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear was quantified using geometric
morphometrics in a sample of 16 species of living marsupial diprotodontians, the extinct …

Ontogeny, or the development of an individual from conception to death, is a major source of
variation in vertebrate morphology. All anatomical systems are affected by ontogeny, and …

For rodents, hearing is essential to survival. It enables predator evasion, prey detection, and
conspecific recognition; it is also likely to be constrained by the physical environment. The …

The bony labyrinth in the temporal bone houses the sensory systems of balance and
hearing. While the overall structure of the semicircular canals and cochlea is similar across …

The dispersal of modern humans from Africa is now well documented with genetic data that
track population history, as well as gene flow between populations. Phenetic skeletal data …
