Social bonds in birds are associated with brain size and contingent on the correlated evolution of life-history and increased parental investment
In birds, large brains are associated with a series of population-level phenomena, including invasion success, species richness, and resilience to population decline. Thus, they appear to open up adaptive opportunities through flexibility in foraging and anti-predator behaviour. The evolutionary pat...
