Morphological Adaptations of the Ear in the Rodent Family Heteromyidae [PDF]
American Zoologist, 1980 Middle and inner ear structure and auditory sensitivity have been studied in all five genera of the rodent family Heteromyidae. In the most xericc genera ( Dipodomys and Microdipodops ) the middle ears are greatly inflated the tympano-ossicular system very efficient the organ of Corti extremely modified and low-frequency sensitivity extremely acute.
