Complementary ecomorphological patterns in brain shape and size evolution across the avian radiation

Talia M. Lowi‐Merri, Akinobu Watanabe

The paper analyzes brain shape and size evolution in 300 avian species to show that shape variation is largely independent of allometry and reflects clade-specific neuroanatomical divergence.
