A general mechanism of air-borne hearing in Recent and early non-tympanate tetrapods
2022-05-10
Abstract excerpt
Tetrapod tympanic hearing probably emerged in the Triassic with independent origins in each of the major groups, more than 120 Myr after the water-land transition. During this long period, any auditory sensitivity must have been based on non-tympanic, bone conduction mechanisms. However, ‘bone conduction’ is a non-specific term describing several different modes of vibration that can stimulate the inner ear. To un...
