Sensory Evolution on the Threshold : Adaptations in Secondarily Aquatic Vertebrates

Autor: J. G. M. Hans Thewissen, Sirpa Nummela

From crocodiles and penguins to seals and whales, this comprehensive and authoritative synthesis explores the function and evolution of sensory systems in animals whose ancestors lived on land. Together, the contributors explore the dramatic transfor

The Primate Peripheral Auditory System and the Evolution of Primate Hearing

Autor: Sirpa Nummela

Publikováno v: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ISBN: 9783319594767

The primate peripheral auditory organ closely resembles that of other terrestrial mammals. Acoustic communication has an important role in primate communities, and hearing characteristics are well-known for several species. In this chapter, morpholog

Sound transmission in archaic and modern whales: Anatomical adaptations for underwater hearing

Autor: Sunil Bajpai, J. G. M. Thewissen, Taseer Hussain, Kishor Kumar, Sirpa Nummela

Publikováno v: The Anatomical Record: Advances in Integrative Anatomy and Evolutionary Biology. 290:716-733

The whale ear, initially designed for hearing in air, became adapted for hearing underwater in less than ten million years of evolution. This study describes the evolution of underwater hearing in cetaceans, focusing on changes in sound transmission

Scaling of the marsupial middle ear and its functional significance

Autor: Sirpa Nummela, Marcelo R. Sánchez-Villagra

Publikováno v: Journal of Zoology. 270:256-267

The marsupial middle ear performs an anatomical impedance matching for acoustic energy travelling in air to reach the cochlea. The size of the middle ear sets constraints for the frequencies transmitted. For generalized placental mammals, it has been
