...Stephen H. Montgomery 6 9 2013 Under the view above, changes in proportional size are also adaptive, as they are products of an allometry imposed by functional constraint, so an increase in proportional size serves to maintain the basic functional relationship, perhaps by maintaining...

... line, electroreception, and audition in a large range of species in order to identify specific adaptations, the range of sensitivity thresholds, and the compromise between sensory spatial resolution and sensitivity. In addition, we can quantitatively assess the convergence of sensory input...

... might well serve distinct functions. Adaptation to the cause of space sickness probably results from readjustment of a cerebellar circuit or of a humoral factor acting on the CTZ, rather than from stimulus-receptor desensitization. Space sickness must, for purposes of investigation, be treated...

...Andrew Bass; Robert Baker Evolutionary neurobiologists want to know how neuronal properties (or traits) have been modified to subserve adaptive changes in behavioral phenotypes. Homology can provide a conceptual framework to distinguish the separate contributions of phylogenetic factors and current...

... there was any evidence of adaptation in brain structure. A previously published data set was also reanalysed. Arboreal frogs have larger body-size corrected brains than frogs from other habitats. Arboreal ranid (Platymantis vitiensis) and hylid (Hyla versicolor) possess slightly larger cerebella than the ranids...

Among the domestic pigeons homing pigeons have significantly larger olfactory bulbs. These data are interpreted as representing a functional adaptation to homing...

For example, similar features may be present because of inheritance from a common ancestor (homology), may represent...
