Human‐wildlife cooperation is a type of mutualism in which a human and a wild, free‐living
animal actively coordinate their behaviour to achieve a common beneficial outcome. While …

During the last 50 years, comparative cognition and neurosciences have improved our
understanding of animal minds while evolutionary ecology has revealed how selection acts …

The relative size of olfactory bulbs (OBs) is correlated with olfactory capabilities across
vertebrates and is widely used to assess the relative importance of olfaction to a species' …

Body size correlates with most structural and functional components of an organism's
phenotype–brain size being a prime example of allometric scaling with animal size …

Group size predicts brain size in primates and some other mammal groups, but no such
relationship has been found in birds. Instead, stable pair-bonding and bi-parental care have …

There are multiple hypotheses for the evolution of cognition. The most prominent
hypotheses are the Social Intelligence Hypothesis (SIH) and the Ecological Intelligence …

The cerebellum is largely conserved in its circuitry, but varies greatly in size and shape
across species. The extent to which differences in cerebellar morphology is driven by …

The ability to function in a nocturnal and ground-dwelling niche requires a unique set of
sensory specializations. The New Zealand kiwi has shifted away from vision, instead relying …

Hace frío en el bosque y reina la oscuridad. Hay un silencio sepulcral, tan sólo interrumpido
por el esporádico reclamo de un pájaro procedente de algún punto inconcreto en el espeso …

Brain investment is evolutionarily constrained by high costs of neural tissue. Several
ecological factors favour the evolution of increased brain investment; we predict reduced …
