Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

Phylogenetic allometric scaling of near basal breathing frequency in terrestrial, semi‐aquatic and aquatic mammals

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We measured the BASAL breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non‐pregnant/non‐lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi‐aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals.
