The paper compares R packages for phylogenetic generalised linear mixed models and shows glmmTMB is faster and more flexible for fitting PGLMMs with likelihood-based models.

The paper introduces Co-BreeD, a peer-reviewed and updatable database for cooperative breeding research, showing cooperative breeding is more prevalent than previously estimated.

This study shows that morphological traits, not socio-cognitive demands, are key predictors of brain size evolution in birds.
