Fishes use a variety of sensory systems to learn about their environments and communicate. Of the various senses, hearing plays particularly important role for fishes in providing information, often from great distances, all around these animals. This information is three spatial dimensions, overcoming limitations other senses such as vision, touch, taste smell. Sound used communication between fishes, mating behaviour, detection prey predators, orientation migration habitat selection. Thus, anything that interferes with ability fish detect respond biologically relevant sounds can decrease survival fitness individuals populations.

Enigmatic ear stones: what we know about the functional role and evolution of fish otoliths

ABSTRACT Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith mass shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion thus ear functioning. Yet our knowledge how exactly these influence is incomplete. In addition, experimental studies directly investigating function otoliths inner are scarce yield partly conflicting results. Herein, we discuss questions hypotheses on shape, relationship between sensory epithelium overlying otolith, motion.

Diversity in Fish Auditory Systems: One of the Riddles of Sensory Biology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 4

Published: March 31, 2016

An astonishing diversity of inner ears and accessory hearing structures (AHS) that can enhance has evolved in fishes. Inner mainly differ the size otolith end organs, shape orientation sensory epithelia, patterns ciliary bundles hair cells. Despite our profound morphological knowledge ear variation, two main questions remain widely unanswered. (i) What selective forces and/or constraints led to evolution this diversity? (ii) How is variability linked abilities? Improved based on ability many fish species transmit oscillations swim bladder walls or other gas-filled bladders ears. Swim may be via a chain ossicles (in otophysans), anterior extensions (e.g. some cichlids, squirrelfishes), gas touch directly (labyrinth fishes). Studies catfishes cichlids demonstrate larger more pronounced linkages positively affect both auditory sensitivities detectable frequency range, but lack connection does not exclude enhancement. This abilities one riddles bioacoustics research. Hearing enhancement might have facilitate intraspecific acoustic communication. A comparison sound-producing species, however, indicates communication widespread taxa lacking AHS. Eco-acoustical are likely explanation for sensitivities. Low ambient noise levels facilitated AHS, enabling detect low-level abiotic sounds from con- heterospecifics, including predators prey. Aquatic habitats regimes, preliminary data indicate fishes vary accordingly.

Sculpting the labyrinth: Morphogenesis of the developing inner ear

Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 65, P. 47 - 59

Published: Sept. 29, 2016

The vertebrate inner ear is a precision sensory organ, acting as both microphone to receive sound and an accelerometer detect gravity motion. It consists of series interlinked, fluid-filled chambers containing patches epithelia, each with specialised function. contains many different differentiated cell types distinct morphologies, from the flask-shaped hair cells found in thickened epithelium, thin squamous that contribute non-sensory structures, such semicircular canal ducts. Nearly all ear, including afferent neurons innervate it, are derived otic placode, region cranial ectoderm develops adjacent embryonic hindbrain. As develops, epithelia grow, fold, fuse rearrange form complex three-dimensional shape membranous labyrinth. Much our current understanding processes morphogenesis comes genetic pharmacological manipulations developing mouse, chicken zebrafish embryos. These traditional approaches now being supplemented exciting new techniques—including force measurements light-sheet microscopy—that helping elucidate mechanisms generate this intricate organ system.

A regulatory network of Sox and Six transcription factors initiate a cell fate transformation during hearing regeneration in adult zebrafish

Cell Genomics, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 2(9), P. 100170 - 100170

Published: Aug. 22, 2022

Using adult zebrafish inner ears as a model for sensorineural regeneration, we ablated the mechanosensory receptors and characterized single-cell epigenome transcriptome at consecutive time points during hair cell regeneration. We utilized deep learning on regeneration-induced open chromatin sequences identified cell-specific transcription factor (TF) motif patterns. Enhancer activity correlated with gene expression potential regulatory networks. A pattern of overlapping Sox- Six-family TF binding motifs was detected, suggesting combinatorial program TFs driving regeneration identity. Pseudotime analysis transcriptomic data suggested that support cells within sensory epithelium changed identity to "progenitor" population could differentiate into cells. 2.6 kb DNA enhancer upstream sox2 promoter that, when deleted, showed dominant phenotype resulted in hair-cell-regeneration-specific deficit both lateral line ear.

Shaping of inner ear sensory organs through antagonistic interactions between Notch signalling and Lmx1a

Published: Dec. 4, 2017

The mechanisms of formation the distinct sensory organs inner ear and non-sensory domains that separate them are still unclear. Here, we show several patches arise by progressive segregation from a common prosensory domain in embryonic chicken mouse otocyst. This process is regulated mutually antagonistic signals: Notch signalling Lmx1a. Notch-mediated lateral induction promotes fate. Some early Notch-active cells, however, normally diverted this fate increasing produces misshapen or fused chick. Conversely Lmx1a (or cLmx1b chick) allows organ antagonizing promoting commitment to Our findings highlight dynamic nature patch labile character sensory-competent progenitors, which could have facilitated emergence new their functional diversification course evolution.

Paradox of otolith shape indices: routine but overestimated use

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 78(6), P. 681 - 692

The identification of fish species using otolith shape has been common in many fields the marine science. Different analytical processes can be applied for morphological discrimination, but reviewing literature we have found conceptual and statistical limitations use indices wavelets (contour analysis), being specially worrying first case due to their widespread routine use. In present study, 42 were classified applying traditional machine learning classifiers performance measures (accuracy, Cohen’s kappa statistic, sensitivity, precision). Our results conclusive; a more adequate option classification than indices, independently considered. artificial neural network support vector provided highest values all wavelets. cases, sensitivity precision pointed out higher confusion between some patterns indices. Therefore, strongly discourage species.
