Sex, ecology and the brain: evolutionary correlates of brain structure volumes in Tanganyikan cichlids.

Analyses of the macroevolutionary correlates of brain structure volumes allow pinpointing of selective pressures influencing specific structures. Here we use a multiple regression framework, including phylogenetic information, to analyze brain structure evolution in 43 Tanganyikan cichlid species. W...
