Evolutionary analysis of genes associated with the sense of balance in semi-aquatic mammals

Abstract Background Semi-aquatic mammals represent a transitional phase in the evolutionary spectrum between terrestrial and aquatic mammals. The sense of balance is crucial for mammalian locomotion, and in semi-aquatic mammals, the structural foundation of this sense (the vestibular system) shows d...
