Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion
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

The study investigates the shape of the semicircular canals in the inner ear of three sister mole species—Talpa europaea, Talpa aquitania, and Talpa occidentalis—using geometric morphometrics on 58 specimens. It finds both interspecific and intraspecific variability in canal morphology, but no evidence of sexual dimorphism.
