Co-evolutionary dynamics of mammalian brain and body size

2023-06-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Despite decades of comparative studies, fundamental questions remain about how brain and body size co-evolved. Divergent explanations exist concurrently in the literature for phenomena such as variation in brain relative to body size, variability in the scaling relationship across taxonomic levels and between taxonomic groups, and purported evolutionary trends. Here we resolve these issues using...
