The evolution of cerebrotypes in birds
Multivariate analyses of brain composition in mammals, amphibians and fish have revealed
the evolution of 'cerebrotypes' that reflect specific niches and/or clades. Here, we present the …

Testosterone, testes size, and mating success in birds: a comparative study
Reproductive behaviors of vertebrates are often underpinned by temporal patterns of
hormone secretion. We investigated interspecific patterns of circulating testosterone in male …

THE EVOLUTION OF F1 POSTZYGOTIC INCOMPATIBILITIES IN BIRDS
TD Price, MM Bouvier - Evolution, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
We analyzed the rate at which postzygotic incompatibilities accumulate in birds. Our
purposes were to assess the role of intrinsic F1 hybrid infertility and inviability in the …

Analysis of a rapid evolutionary radiation using ultraconserved elements: evidence for a bias in some multispecies coalescent methods
Rapid evolutionary radiations are expected to require large amounts of sequence data to
resolve. To resolve these types of relationships many systematists believe that it will be …

Morphometrics of the avian small intestine compared with that of nonflying mammals: a phylogenetic approach
Flying animals may experience a selective constraint on gut volume because the energetic
cost of flight increases and maneuverability decreases with greater digesta load. The small …
