Neue Entdeckung erschüttert die Grundlagen der Tierwahrnehmung: Wissenschaftler entdecken den verborgenen „sechsten Sinn“ bei Geckos

TLDR:

University of Maryland biologists have discovered that geckos use a part of their inner ear, the saccule, to detect low-frequency vibrations, offering a new understanding of reptilian hearing. This finding may extend to other reptiles and changes how scientists view animal communication and perception. It also hints at possible connections between hearing and balance in humans.
