Garth Spellman, curator of ornithology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, talks about how examination of birds' inner-ear mechanics (literally, using bird cadavers) reveals how environmental change, both recent and ancient, has driven evolution of the anatomy that allows birds to hear. Working with postdoctoral research associate John Peacock, Spellman hopes that within a few years, we'll know enough about bird ears to model what sounds their avian ancestors could hear, too.
