A comparative analysis of brain size in relation to foraging ecology and phylogeny in the Chiroptera.

Variations in total brain mass and in the mass of three brain regions (main olfactory bulb, hippocampus, auditory nuclei) were examined using a data set for 63 species of bats (Chiroptera). Using both conventional and phylogenetically based analysis of covariance (log body mass as covariate), we tes... View More
