Résumé
The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus praearticularis, which serves as an anchor for the auditory ossicle chain but has been often missed due to its delicate nature. Here we describe the development and morphology of the malleus and its processus internus praearticularis in the cricetine rodent Mesocricetus auratus, compared to selected muroid species (Cricetus cricetus, Peromyscus maniculatus, and Mus musculus). Early postnatal stages of Mesocricetus show the formation of the malleus by fusion of the prearticular and mallear main body. The processus internus praearticularis forms an increasing broad lamina fused anteriorly to the ectotympanic in adult stages of all studied species. Peromyscus and Mus show a distinct orbicular apophysis that increases inertia of the malleus and therefore these species represent the microtype of auditory ossicles. In contrast, the center of mass of the malleus in the studied Cricetinae is close to the anatomical axis of rotation and their auditory ossicles represent the transitional type. The microtype belongs to the grundplan of Muroidea and is plesiomorphic for Cricetidae, whereas the transitional type evolved several times within Muroidea and represents an apomorphic feature of Cricetinae.
