Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well olfaction. While turbinals known some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at scale placental mammals, which span 21 orders. Here, we investigated turbinal bones associated lamellae for one representative each extant order mammals. We segmented isolated independent lamella found an important variation number turbinals, size, shape. that count varies widely, from zero La Plata dolphin, ( Pontoporia blainvillei ) to about 110 African bush elephant Loxodonta africana ). Multiple losses additional gains took place along phylogeny Some changes clearly attributed ecological adaptation, while others probably related phylogenetic inertia. In addition, this work highlights problem nomenclature orders with numerous highly complex homologies extremely difficult resolve. Therefore, underscores importance developmental studies better clarify homology provides a standardized comparative framework further research.
