However, little is known about their retinal organization. Using retinal wholemounts, we estimated the total number and topography of neurons in the ganglion cell layer in the generalist yellow\u2010bellied elaenia (<jats:italic>Elaenia flavogaster<\/jats:italic>) and the up\u2010hover\u2010gleaner mouse\u2010colored tyrannulet (<jats:italic>Phaeomyias murina<\/jats:italic>) with the optical fractionator method. The mean estimated total number of neurons in the ganglion cell layer was 4,152,416 \u00b1 189,310 in <jats:italic>E. flavogaster<\/jats:italic> and 2,965,132 \u00b1 354,359 in <jats:italic>P. murina<\/jats:italic>. Topographic maps of isocounting lines revealed a similar distribution for both species: a central fovea and a temporal area surrounded by a poorly defined horizontal streak. In addition, both species had increased numbers of giant ganglion cells in the dorsotemporal retina forming an area giganto cellularis. In <jats:italic>E. flavogaster<\/jats:italic>, these giant ganglion cells were also distributed across the nasal and ventral retinal peripheries, which is in agreement with the generalist habits of this species. However, in <jats:italic>P. murina<\/jats:italic> these cells were rarely seen along the nasal and ventral peripheries, possibly reflecting a lesser need to perceive movement because this species captures stationary insects resting on foliage. Thus, we suggest that the retinas of the tyrant flycatchers in the present study show a general common pattern of neuron distribution in the ganglion cell layer irrespective of their foraging habits. We also suggest that the distribution of giant ganglion cells is indicative of the visual requirements of the species. J. Comp.
