In most tetrapods, the nasal cavity houses a bony or a cartilaginous system (i.e. turbinals or turbinates) supporting epithelium and sensory organs involved in either olfaction or heat and moisture conservation. Among extant tetrapods, mammals have on average, the largest turbinals to skull length ratio. Despite some studies in primates, Carnivora, bats, lagomorphs as well asrodents, our understanding of the selective pressures affecting turbinals remains imprecise.This PhD aims to unravel the evolutionary processes responsible for the large anatomical and morphological variations of turbinals among mammals. In the course of our work we acquired an extensive dataset of three-dimensional micro-computed tomography scans (micro-CT) in rodents ...
