Beschreibung
This book takes a comparative approach to the evolution of sensory cells in the auditory systems of vertebrates. The authors follow the adaptation of hearing capabilities in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, exploring in depth the specific properties of auditory cells that allowed them to become sensitive to sound and capable of analyzing sounds into their respective frequency components.
The evolutionary history of the structure and function of the auditory system is discussed for each vertebrate group. The focus is on the evolution of sensory hair cells
