Endocranial volume increases across captive generations in the endangered Mexican wolf.

Scientific reports - 17 May 2022

Siciliano-Martina Leila, Michaud Margot, Tanis Brian P, Scicluna Emily L, Lawing A Michelle

Abstract excerpt

Endangered animals in captivity may display reduced brain sizes due to captive conditions and limited genetic diversity. Captive diets, for example, may differ in nutrition and texture, altering cranial musculature and alleviating constraints on cranial shape development. Changes in brain size are associated with biological fitness, which may limit reintroduction success. Little is known about how changes in...
