Figure 7

Overview of ciliary bundle types. Ciliary bundle types identified on the maculae of E. maculatus (A, C, D, E) were similar to those found on the maculae of S. tinanti (B, F, G, H). Both species showed ciliary bundles in which the kinocilium was only slightly longer than stereocilia (A, D), approximately twice as long as the longest stereocilium (B, C, H, marked with an asterisk), or ciliary bundles with a kinocilium at least three times longer than the longest stereocilium (E-G marked with an arrowhead). Scale bars, 1 μm.
