Relationship between swim bladder morphology and hearing abilities--a case study on Asian and African cichlids.
<h4>Background</h4>Several teleost species have evolved anterior extensions of the swim bladder which come close to or directly contact the inner ears. A few comparative studies have shown that these morphological specializations may enhance hearing abilities. This study investigates the...
