“…As previously stated, the relationship between turbinal morphology and distribution of olfactory and respiratory epithelia within the nasal fossa differs among mammals, but is still poorly understood. Computational fluid dynamics studies informed by histology have been used to infer respiratory and olfactory performance in other mammals, including some bats, (Craven et al, ; Lawson et al, ; Eiting et al, ; Ranslow et al, ; Eiting et al, ; Pang et al, ; Xi et al, ), diffusible iodine‐enhanced CT scanning now allows nondestructive imaging of soft tissues (Gignac and Kley, ), and our understanding of the mammalian olfactory genome is rapidly improving (e.g., Hayden et al, ). Continued integrative work in these areas in an increasingly diverse sample of mammals will undoubtedly aid our understanding of how differences in olfactory, thermoregulatory, and osmoregulatory abilities are reflected in nasal fossa morphology.…”
