Building large trees by combining phylogenetic information: a complete phylogeny of the extant Carnivora (Mammalia)
One way to build larger, more comprehensive phylogenies is to combine the vast amount of
phylogenetic information already available. We review the two main strategies for …

The expensive brain: a framework for explaining evolutionary changes in brain size
To explain variation in relative brain size among homoiothermic vertebrates, we propose the
Expensive Brain hypothesis as a unifying explanatory framework. It claims that the costs of a …
