Cochlear hair‐cell populations and limits of resolution of hearing in two vespertilionid bats, Nyctalus noctula and Eptesicus serotinus
Abstract A comparison of the population of cochlear hair cells with known hearing resolution capabilities in two species of bats ( Nyctalus noctula and Eptesicus serotinus of the family Vespertilionidae) has revealed a close correlation between morphological and functional parameters. Data on number...
