Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role in the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith
mass and shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion …

Marine bioinvasions affect ecosystems in irreversible ways, creating socio-economic
problems worldwide. In particular, eastern Mediterranean marine fish faunas today are …

Directional hearing may enable fishes to seek out prey, avoid predators, find mates, and
detect important spatial cues. Early sound localization experiments gave negative results …

Previous experiments have shown (1) evidence that exposure to high-intensity sounds (eg,
air-gun signals) may cause damage to the sensory hair cells of the fish ears and impair fish …

Studies of the effects of sounds from underwater explosions on fishes have not included
examination of potential effects on the ear. Caged Pacific mackerel (Scomber japonicus) …

Despite the diversity in fish auditory structures, it remains elusive how otolith morphology
and swim bladder-inner ear (= otophysic) connections affect otolith motion and inner ear …

From the morphospace to the soundscape: Exploring the diversity and functional
morphology of the fish inner ear, with a focus on elasmobranchsa)| The Journal of the …

Sagittal otolith shape analysis is one of the most widespread techniques worldwide to
discriminate fish stock units, as this proxy integrates both environmental and genetic factors …

Modern bony fishes possess a high morphological diversity in their auditory structures and
auditory capabilities. Yet, how auditory structures such as the otoliths in the inner ears and …

Little is known about long-term changes in coral reef fish communities. Here we present a
new technique that leverages fish otoliths in reef sediments to reconstruct coral reef fish …
