Short-term memory, attentional control and brain size in primates

C. van Schaik, I. Jacobs, J. M. Burkart, G.-A. Sauciuc, C. Schuppli, T. Persson, Z. Song

This study examines the relationship between brain size and short-term memory in primates, finding that overall brain size better predicts performance than specific brain regions or encephalization quotient.

Population interconnectivity shapes the distribution and complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture

C. Gunasekaram, F. Battiston, C. Padilla-Iglesias, M. A. van Noordwiijk, A. Manica, J. Bertranpetit, A. Whiten, C. van Schaik, L. Vinicius, A. B. Migliano

The paper examines how population interconnectivity through migration influences the development and limited complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture.

Parental provisioning drives brain size in birds

M. Griesser, S. M. Drobniak, S. M. Graber, C. van Schaik

This study shows that parental provisioning strongly predicts brain size variation across bird species, explaining why altricial birds have larger brains than precocial ones.

Two evolutionary distinct effectors from a nematode and virus target RanGAP1 and 2 via the WPP domain to promote disease

O. C. A. Sukarta, A. D. G. Munoz, E. J. Slootweg, H. Overmars, C. van Schaik, S. Pokhare, J. Roosien, R. Pomp, A. Elashry, G. Smant, A. Goverse

This study identifies RanGAP1 and RanGAP2 as common targets of distinct effectors from a nematode and virus, showing their role in pathogenicity and potential involvement in immune receptor function.

Relative brain size and cognitive equivalence in fishes

Z. Triki, M. Aellen, C. Van Schaik, R. Bshary

This study evaluates brain-body slope and cognitive equivalence in fishes, finding similar slopes to ectotherms but higher than endotherms, with no cognitive performance correlation to body size.
