Turbinal bones are still one of the last frontiers of the tetrapod skull: hypotheses, challenges and perspectives
Turbinals are bony or cartilaginous structures that are present in the nasal cavity of most
tetrapods. They are involved in key functions such as olfaction, heat, and moisture …

On the embryonic development of the nasal turbinals and their homology in bats
Multiple corrugated cartilaginous structures are formed within the mammalian nasal capsule,
eventually developing into turbinals. Due to its complex and derived morphology, the …

The role of the olfactory recess in olfactory airflow
The olfactory recess–a blind pocket at the back of the nasal airway–is thought to play an
important role in mammalian olfaction by sequestering air outside of the main airstream, thus …
