Evolutionary analysis of genes associated with the sense of balance in semi-aquatic mammals
Our research offers insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of the sense of balance in semi-aquatic mammals, while also providing a new research direction for the adaptive evolution of mammals undergoing a secondary transition to an aquatic lifestyle.
