===Animals=== {{See also|Evolution of mammalian auditory ossicles}} The ''stapes'' is one of three ossicles in mammals. In non-mammalian [[tetrapod|tetrapods]], the bone [[Homology (biology)|homologous]] to the ''stapes'' is usually called the [[columella (auditory system)|columella]]; however, in [[reptile]]s, either term may be used. In fish, the homologous bone is called the [[hyomandibula]]r, and is part of the [[gill arch]] supporting either the [[Spiracle (vertebrates)|spiracle]] or the jaw, depending on the species. The equivalent term in [[amphibian]]s is the ''{{lang|la|pars media plectra}}''.<ref name=CHAPMAN2011/><ref name=VB>{{cite book |last1= Romer |first1 =Alfred Sherwood |last2 = Parsons |first2 = Thomas S |publisher = Holt-Saunders International |year = 1977 |location = Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |title=The Vertebrate Body |isbn= 978-0-03-910284-5 }}</ref>{{rp|481β482}}
