High ellipticity reduces semi-circular canal sensitivity in squamates compared to mammals

The semi-circular canals in the inner ear sense head rotations. It is widely recognised that the anatomy of the semi-circular canals is often adapted to the species-specific agility, in order to provide the necessary sensitivity. Based on research on mammals, the ellipticity of the semi-circular can...
