... for financial support. My own reading of the literature therefore suggests that developmental constraints may be insufficiently strong and functional constraints not sufficiently weak to render likely the scenario necessary for proportional size to be viewed as an adaptation. Of course, others may come...

... 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...
