Independent origin of large labyrinth size in turtles
The labyrinth of the vertebrate inner ear is a sensory system that governs the perception of
head rotations. Central hypotheses predict that labyrinth shape and size are related to …

A 50-million-year-old, three-dimensionally preserved bat skull supports an early origin for modern echolocation
Bats are among the most recognizable, numerous, and widespread of all mammals. But
much of their fossil record is missing, and bat origins remain poorly understood, as do the …

The vertebrate middle and inner ear: A short overview
C Pfaff, JA Schultz, R Schellhorn - Journal of morphology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The evolution of the various hearing adaptations is connected to major structural changes in
nearly all groups of vertebrates. Besides hearing, the detection of acceleration and …

Quantitative assessment of inner ear variation in elasmobranchs
Considerable diversity has been documented in most sensory systems of elasmobranchs
(sharks, rays, and skates); however, relatively little is known about morphological variation in …

Deep evolutionary diversification of semicircular canals in archosaurs
Living archosaurs (birds and crocodylians) have disparate locomotor strategies that evolved
since their divergence∼ 250 mya. Little is known about the early evolution of the sensory …

The mammalian bony labyrinth reconsidered, introducing a comprehensive geometric morphometric approach
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 …

Locomotor head movements and semicircular canal morphology in primates
Animal locomotion causes head rotations, which are detected by the semicircular canals of
the inner ear. Morphologic features of the canals influence rotational sensitivity, and so it is …

Neuroanatomy of the late Cretaceous Thescelosaurus neglectus (Neornithischia: Thescelosauridae) reveals novel ecological specialisations within Dinosauria
Ornithischian dinosaurs exhibited a diversity of ecologies, locomotory modes, and social
structures, making them an ideal clade in which to study the evolution of neuroanatomy and …
