Abstract
Correlations between progression indices of five categories of nuclei and brain centers indicate that Megachiroptera rely primarily on vision and olfaction while Microchiroptera rely primarily on audition. Among Microchiroptera, some rely more heavily on olfaction than on vision as a secondary sense, and vice-versa. There may have been compensatory effects, in the course of evolution, regarding the choice of the primary and secondary information channels.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
