Bulweria Bonaparte 1843

Body symmetry

Namigai et al 2014
bilaterally symmetric
URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001324

URI: https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q591800

Definition: Inner-ear structure in vertebrates which detects acceleration and may detect acoustic signals

Dooling et al 2000
tympanic middle ear
URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001756

Definition: the air-filled cavity within the skull of vertebrates that lies between the outer ear and the inner ear. It is linked to the pharynx (and therefore to outside air) via the Eustachian tube and in mammals contains the three ear ossicles, which transmit auditory vibrations from the outer ear (via the tympanum) to the inner ear

visual system

Land and Fernald 1992
corneal eyes
URI: https://eol.org/schema/terms/corneal_eyes

Definition: Because of the difference in refractive index between air and water (or corneal tissue), a curved cornea is an image-forming lens in its own right. Its focal length is determined by the radius of curvature of the cornea. Many corneal eyes (eg: in land vertebrates) also have lenses, but the lens is flattened and weakened compared with an aquatic lens; most of the refractive power is provided by the cornea. Corneal eyes cannot focus in aquatic habitat.
