Animal communication is a dynamic field that promotes cross-disciplinary study of the
complex mechanisms of sending and receiving signals, the neurobiology of signal detection …

The middle ear apparatus varies considerably among living mammals. Body size, phylogeny
and acoustic environment all play roles in shaping ear structure and function, but …

In creatures as different as crickets and scorpions, mole rats and elephants, there exists an
overlooked channel of communication: signals transmitted as vibrations through a solid …

The special sensory, motor, and cognitive capabilities of mammals mainly depend upon the
neocortex, which is the six‐layered cover of the mammalian forebrain. The origin of the …

An investigation of the internal cranial anatomy of the anomodont Kawingasaurus from the
Upper Permian Usili Formation in Tanzania by means of neutron tomography revealed an …

Infrasonic and seismic communication in terrestrial vertebrates is generally poorly known.
Moreover, studies of these communication modalities have been restricted to relatively few …

The use of genetically modified mice can accelerate progress in auditory research.
However, the fundamental profile of mouse hearing has not been thoroughly documented. In …

Mammalian pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have distinct molecular and biological
characteristics among species, but to date we lack a comprehensive understanding of …

There is evidence that spalacine, tachyoryctine, and myospalacine mole‐rats all
communicate with conspecifics through a form of seismic signaling, but the route for the …

The ability of adult and subadult piebald shrews (Diplomesodon pulchellum) to produce 160
Hz seismic waves is potentially reflected in their vocal ontogeny and ear morphology. In this …
