鸟类的眼睛似乎通常与头部尺寸所允许的一样大，而大脑的尺寸在这里被视为可容纳它们的不明确空间的衡量标准。在非雀形目动物的四个数据集中，眼睛大小与大脑大小的相关性比与体重的相关性更强，并且大多数非雀形目数据与眼睛：大脑（或眼睛：头部空间）等距一致。因此，眼睛：身体异速生长似乎是从负的头部空间：身体异速生长得出的。在雀形目动物中，眼睛：大脑大小的相关性似乎次于强眼睛：身体、大脑：身体的相关性，因此也许还有头部空间：身体的相关性，这种差异归因于雀形目动物更大的解剖一致性。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Birds' eyes seem often to be about as large as head size allows and brain size is taken here as a measure of the ill-defined space that is available to accommodate them. In four data sets for non-passerines eye size relates more strongly to brain size than to body mass and most non-passerine data are consistent with eye:brain (or eye:head-space) isometry. Eye:body allometry thus seems to follow from a negative head-space:body allometry. In passerines the eye:brain size correlations seem to be secondary to strong eye:body, brain:body, and perhaps therefore head-space:body correlations, a difference attributed to the passerines' greater anatomical uniformity.
