8 Mar 2011: The ears of these animals proved to be quite similar in appearance, although the zokor Eospalax fontanierii (= Myospalax cansus) had a simpler middle ear cavity structure than that of Tachyoryctes splendens, ... These hypotheses remain to be tested, but

8 Mar 2011: The results suggest that the ears of these animals would indeed significantly augment inertial bone conduction at low frequencies, compared to the primitive condition as found in Amblysomus species. ... Observations of golden moles in the wild, taken

8 Mar 2011: Although we had suspected from previous anatomical and behavioural studies that golden moles are sensitive to low-frequency vibrations, this had never been tested on live animals. ... We then released a golden mole in the centre of the arena, and

18 May 2011: Journal of Morphology 267: 678-695. In this paper, I consider in detail the middle ear morphology of talpid moles, familiar animals in Eurasia and North America. ... University of Cambridge. Information provided by.

8 Mar 2011: This enigmatic animal moves at night between tussocks of grass on the dunes of the Namib desert, where its prey species (mainly termites) are located. ... The question of how the animals could localize vibrations is briefly discussed, and two hypotheses

8 Mar 2011: more to the caviomorph group to which these animals belong than to the ears of small mammals in general. ... University of Cambridge. Information provided by.

8 Mar 2011: impedance transformation based on simple, anatomical measurements may represent inadequate descriptions of middle ear function, in the case of these animals. ... University of Cambridge. Information provided by.

8 Mar 2011: This restriction in frequency range might be the price that the animals pay for an improvement in the transmission of vibrations by bone conduction, relative to an ancestral middle ear morphology. ... University of Cambridge. Information provided by.
