What amphibians can teach us about the evolution of parental care
Parenting is considered a key evolutionary innovation that contributed to the diversification
and expansion of vertebrates. However, we know little about how such diversity evolved …

Neuroendocrine mechanisms contributing to the coevolution of sociality and communication
MK Freiler, GT Smith - Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 2023 - Elsevier
Communication is inherently social, so signaling systems should evolve with social systems.
The 'social complexity hypothesis' posits that social complexity necessitates communicative …

[HTML][HTML] Comparative assessment of familiarity/novelty preferences in rodents
AK Beery, KL Shambaugh - Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Sociality—ie, life in social groups—has evolved many times in rodents, and there is
considerable variation in the nature of these groups. While many species-typical behaviors …

Amphibian behavioral diversity offers insights into evolutionary neurobiology
AA Iyer, KL Briggman - Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2021 - Elsevier
Recent studies have served to emphasize the unique placement of amphibians, composed
of more than 8000 species, in the evolution of the brain. We provide an overview of the three …
