Previously, researchers thought bat ears had fine-tuned versions of mammalian ears. With nearly 1,500 species, bats are very diverse and make up nearly 20 percent of all mammal species on the planet.

Analysis of bats’ inner ear anatomy supports a previously proposed arrangement that was based on DNA analysis. The findings also shed light on the evolution of echolocation.

Bats are masters at detecting sound—and a lot of it has to do with the mechanics and structure of those adorably large ears. A set of unique inner ear features may explain how one group of bats ...

A new article compares the inner ear structures of the two main groups of bats. By examining the microscopic inner ears of bats from 19 of the 21 known bat families, the researchers were able to ...

a major structure of neurons that connects the sound capturing structures of the inner ear to the brain, has different anatomical configurations between Yin and Yang bats. The new findings started ...

A new paper in Nature is the world’s first study to compare the inner ear structures of the two main groups of bats. By examining the microscopic inner ears of bats from 19 of the 21 known bat ...
