New online! The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens
The functional adaptations of mammalian brain structures through a behavioural ecology lens
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 15 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00095-0Palaeontologists and comparative neurobiologists share a common interest in the evolution of the mammalian brain, but often fail to realize the benefits of this shared interest. This Review draws these fields together, demonstrating the utility of a cross-disciplinary, synergistic approach.
