Figure 2. Comparison of total chemosensory epithelial volume (olfactory plus vomeronasal) plotted against total body lengths (minus the tail) for white-footed mice, short-tailed shrews, and Plethodontid salamanders. Whitefooted mice are represented by open circles with dot, short-tailed shrews by open squares, and salamanders by filled circles Desmognathns wrighti), filled triangles Desmognathus quadramaculatus), and filled diamonds Plethodon glutinosus).

For the sex discrimination tests one sample jar contained a male and the other contained a female. Plethodon glutinosus, P. jordani, and P. aureolus were used 72 males and 36 females among these species were tested. Both males and females significantly preferred the odors of females over males (Dawley, 1984a). All tests were done during the...
