Figure 1 A phylogenetic tree of Chiropteran families showing changes in relative brain mass. Branches containing some species showing brain size reduction in blue, expansion in red and a mixture in yellow. All families contain some species possessing the ancestral brain size. Lineages that evolved in Gondwana are highlighted by a grey box. (Data: Kamran Safi, Zoologisches Institut, Universität Zürich).
