Evolution of the sauropterygian inner ear with increasingly pelagic lifestyles
Original language description
We used computed tomographic scans of 19 sauropterygian species to determine how the transition to pelagic lifestyles influenced the evolution of the endosseous labyrinth, which houses the vestibular sensory organ of balance and orientation. Semicircular canal geometries underwent distinct changes during the transition from nearshore Triassic sauropterygians to the later, pelagic plesiosaurs. Differences in relative labyrinth size among sauropterygians correspond to locomotory differences. Our study presents the first virtual reconstructions of plesiosaur endosseous labyrinths.
