Do the relative size of the olfactory bulb, cochlea, and orbit correlate with diet in phyllostomid bats? Hall et al. (2021) found that the degree of frugivory is positively correlated with the relative size of the olfactory bulb and the orbit. The degree of animalivory is negatively correlated with the relative size of the olfactory bulb and the orbit. Finally, the degree of nectarivory is negatively correlated with the relative size of the cochlea.
