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 …

The vocal apparatus: An understudied tool to reconstruct the evolutionary history of echolocation in bats?
Laryngeal echolocation in bats could have evolved following two scenarios: a single origin
from a common ancestor or an independent acquisition inside the two clades …
