Background: Research on the relationship between the evolution of ontogenetic locomotor milestones and the emergence of advanced cognition in early hominins is reviewed and discussed from an evo-devo perspective that inco...
Scaling and neuronal counts evolutionary dynamics across amniotes [0.03%]

Introduction: Similarly sized brains can be made of highly different neuron numbers, that is along the evolution of amniotes multiple shifts in the evolution of the brain-size vs brain-neurons scaling relationships should...
Spectral transmittance of the ocular media of eight seabird species from two orders: Procellariiformes (petrels and shearwaters) and Suliformes (gannets and shags) [0.03%]
八种海鸟眼睛介质的光谱透过率:鹱形目(信天翁和暴风鹱)和鹲鵼形目(军舰鸟和鹱鵟)

Many, but not all, bird taxa possess the ability to see ultraviolet (UV) light, but it is currently unclear the extent this ability exists among seabirds. Measuring retinal photoreceptor sensitivity presents many challenges, but the penetra...

Introduction: Star-nosed moles are renowned as the fastest foragers among mammals, able to identify and eat small prey in less than a quarter of a second. This ability stems in part from the mole's extraordinary mechanose...

Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon that, in animals, is found only in placental mammals and, to a lesser extent, marsupials. Broadly, differential epigenetic marking of the genomes during gametogenesis leads to parent-of-origin ...

Introduction: Ontogenetic brain growth in cetaceans is essential for understanding their development and evolution. This study investigates brain size changes relative to body growth in bowhead (Balaena mysticetus) and be...
Precuneus and superior parietal lobule: morphology and evolution in the human genus [0.03%]
楔小叶和顶上小叶:形态与人类属的进化

Humans display larger and more complex parietal lobes, when compared with other primates. The superior parietal lobule is a region still poorly known in terms of comparative and evolutionary neuroanatomy, although at least its medial region...
Ecological drivers of dorsal dentate gyrus folding and hemispheric asymmetry in wild Octodon: new insights from Sobrero et al. (2016) [0.03%]
野生Octodon顶叶齿状回折叠和半球不对称的生态驱动因素:来自Sobrero等(2016)的新见解
Raúl Sobrero,Pedro Fernández-Aburto,Scarlett E Delgado et al.
Raúl Sobrero et al.
We reanalyzed data from Sobrero et al. (2016) to measure dorsal dentate gyrus (dDG) folding or gyrification in Octodon degus and O. lunatus as a morphological proxy for neurogenesis and macrostructural plasticity in hippocampal or extracort...
The role of temperature in shaping the nervous system phenotype in the epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) [0.03%]
温度在肩章鲨(Hemiscyllium ocellatum)神经系统表型塑造中的作用

Emily E Peele et al.
Introduction Over the last century, sea surface temperatures have increased by more than 0.5˚C, with predictions suggesting an increase of 1-4˚C by 2100. Oceanic warming poses significant challenges to marine species, particularly those w...
Differential myeloarchitecture of subfields of the mammalian auditory cortex: A comparative approach [0.03%]
哺乳动物听皮层亚区的差异性髓结构:一种比较方法
Simran Singh,Daniel A Llano
Simran Singh
Background: The mammalian auditory cortex can be parcellated into multiple functional subfields, with each subfield making a distinct contribution to sound processing. For example, primary fields consisting of primary aud...
