Evolution of peripheral mechanisms for the enhancement of sound reception
CB Braun, T Grande - Fish Bioacoustics: With 81 Illustrations, 2008 - Springer
The evolutionary history of hearing is a rich and fascinating pageant. The inner ear and the

[HTML][HTML] The tree of life and a new classification of bony fishes
The tree of life of fishes is in a state of flux because we still lack a comprehensive phylogeny
that includes all major groups. The situation is most critical for a large clade of spiny-finned …
