Biophysical models of the middle ear can predict audiograms in part via the middle-ear transfer function. Previous work predicted that the frequency range of best sensitivity for the Minke Whale (<em>Balaenoptera acutorostrata</em>) is near the range of vocalizations for that species. A revised middle ear finite element model incorporates middle ear soft tissues as geometry, including the glove finger, the ear drum homologue familiar from terrestrial mammalian species. <p><a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/effects-mechanical-property-manipulation-minke-whale-hearing-sensitivity" target="_blank">read more</a></p> biomechanics hearing hearing models hearing sensitivity mechanical property manipulation middle ear minke whale mysticetes Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:49:37 +0000 csiadmin 1432 at http://csi.whoi.edu The auditory anatomy of the Minke Whale (<em>Balaenoptera acutorostrata</em>): Insights into potential sound reception pathways in a baleen whale http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/auditory-anatomy-minke-whale-balaenoptera-acutorostrata-insights-potential-sound-reception-pa <a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/auditory-anatomy-minke-whale-balaenoptera-acutorostrata-insights-potential-sound-reception-pa" class="sharethis-link" title="The auditory anatomy of the Minke Whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata): Insights into potential sound reception pathways in a baleen whale" rel="nofollow">ShareThis</a>[1431] <span class="biblio-authors"><a href="/biblio/author/6">Yamato, M.</a>, <a href="/biblio/author/4">D.

To date, sound reception paths in mysticetes remain unknown. To understand hearing mechanisms in baleen whales, a thorough examination of their auditory anatomy is required. This study combines classical dissection with biomed1cal imaging techniques such as X-ray, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRl) to describe the anatomy of the minke whale head with a focus on the ear region. Six individuals have been examined to date. <p><a href="http://csi.whoi.edu/biblio/auditory-anatomy-minke-whale-balaenoptera-acutorostrata-insights-potential-sound-reception-pa" target="_blank">read more</a></p> anatomy auditory auditory anatomy auditory system balaenoptera balaenoptera acutorostrata Baleen baleen whale baleen whale hearing Baleen whales Biology biomed1cal imaging techniques body cetaceans Common Minke Whale complex computerized tomography ear Eardrum fat body Fauna of Ireland functional analyses incoming sound Journal of Mammalogy Ken Norris magnetic resonance imaging mandibular ramus marine mammal hearing Megafauna minke minke whale minke whale head odontocetes reception sound sound reception sound reception pathway straley tissue tomography Toothed whale tympanic bone tympanic cavity tympanic membrane tympano whale whale head x-ray Zoology Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:18:47 +0000 csiadmin 1431 at http://csi.whoi.edu
