EEB Student Thesis Defense - Comparing Phyllostomid Bat Brains to Feeding Strategies

Discover how fruit-eating and blood-sucking bats stack up against their insect-eating cousins in brain size. Samantha Henry's thesis defense uses 3D skull scans to explore whether diet actually drives neural evolution, with surprising results that challenge what we think we know about feeding and intelligence.
