Phenotypic diversity is the cornerstone of evolution: variation in cortical field size within short-tailed opossums.

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection operates on phenotypic variation that exists within a population. Variable aspects of cortical organization, such as the size and connections of a cortical field, can generate differences in behavior, which is a target of natural selection. Yet studies pertaining to within-species variability in cortical organization are limited. In the present investigation, we examined variation in brain size,...
