Habitat complexity describes a wide array of spatial distribution patterns of physical
structures in habitats. It affects aquatic ecosystems on multiple levels from individuals (eg …

Animals exhibit considerable and consistent among-individual variation in cognitive abilities,
even within a population. Recent studies have attempted to address this variation using …

Complex evolutionary dynamics have produced extensive variation in brain anatomy in the
animal world. In guppies, Poecilia reticulata, brain size and anatomy have been extensively …

Mechanisms that generate brain size variation and the consequences of such variation on
ecological performance are poorly understood in most natural animal populations. We use a …

Dietary partitioning plays a central role in biological communities, yet the extent of
partitioning often varies dramatically over time. Food availability may drive temporal …

Brain size, brain architecture, and eye size vary extensively in vertebrates. However, the
extent to which the evolution of these components is intricately connected remains unclear …

The vertebrate brain is highly conserved topologically, but less is known about
neuroanatomical variation between individual brain regions. Neuroanatomical variation at …

Traditionally, the impact of evolution on the central nervous system has been studied by
comparing the sizes of brain regions between species. However, more recent work has …

The astonishing diversity of brain sizes observed across the animal kingdom is typically
explained in the context of trade‐offs: the benefits of a larger brain, such as enhanced …

Contrast-enhanced X-ray imaging provides a non-destructive and flexible approach to
optimizing contrast in soft tissues, especially when incorporated with Lugol's solution …
