Our findings support the hypothesis that the saccule plays a major role in sound detection and that the lagena is also acoustically affected, extending the species hearing dynamic range. * Author for correspondence...

Furthermore, there are examples of sound signals that exceed their hearing range, highlighting a mismatch in our understanding of their hearing systems...

The tympanic middle ear is often seen as a prerequisite for sensitive hearing of airborne sound, and has a similar configuration in non-mammalian...

However, fossil evidence indicates that the water-adapted ear of early terrestrial tetrapods lacked specialized peripheral structures to transduce sound pressure (e.g. tympana). Therefore, early terrestrial hearing should have required nontympanic...
