Three-dimensional reconstructions of the visual and olfactory neuropils in six Drosophila. Red to yellow (warm) color signifies vision or visual bias, while blue indicates olfaction or olfactory species. a Whole brain reconstructions, highlighting visual (yellow to red) and olfactory (blue) regions, with central brain in gray. The optic lobe (OL) to antennal lobe (AL) ratio for each species, showing the division between olfactory and visual bias among species. c Diagram of all measured volumes for comparison between species. d Relative sizes of OL (yellow) and AL (blue) as compared to the central brain, where the data show an inverse correlation between visual or olfactory investment. e Separate regions of OL and AL that were measured as a percentage of the central brain to provide a comparable value between insects of differing absolute size, again highlighting that brain regions mirror external measurements of visual or olfactory size bias. d, e Means with the same letter are not significantly different from each other (ANOVA with Tukey–Kramer multiple comparison test). Error bars represent standard deviation. (Data are provided at https://doi.org/10.17617/3.1D)
