1 Sep 2017: Many of the features of the middle ear, such as the "freely-mobile" ossicular morphology and the lack of a stapedius muscle, are shared with other subterranean mammals, which might lead ... are actually shared with its non-subterranean caviomorph

8 Mar 2011: insertion of the malleus into the tympanic membrane, as found in cats and humans, is functionally related to a change in the vibratory mode of the malleus and incus. ... However, there are some differences between what Puria & Steele observe in cats and

15 Nov 2016: Burford, C.M. & Mason, M.J. (2016) Early development of the malleus and incus in humans. ... It proved to be very difficult to determine the pharyngeal arch origins of the ossicles at the mesenchymal stages of development.

18 Apr 2019: I CT-scanned this fossil and painstakingly reconstructed the skull. We argue in this paper that the skull is actually a fossil described by famous palaeontologist Robert Broom in 1948, but

10 Feb 2018: Their fossil record is scanty so little is known about the origin and evolution of these characteristics. ... We discuss the implications of these features in terms of golden mole and afrotherian evolution.

8 Mar 2011: females. Given that there are no obvious differences between the inner ears of male and female bullfrogs which might result in a significant difference in impedance, we conclude that models of
