11 p, 5.8 MB Brain size predicts learning abilities in bees / Collado, Miguel Ángel (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Montaner, Cristina M. (Estación Biológica de Doñana) ; Molina, Francisco P. (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Sol, Daniel (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Bartomeus, Ignasi (Estación Biológica de Doñana)
When it comes to the brain, bigger is generally considered better in terms of cognitive performance. While this notion is supported by studies of birds and primates showing that larger brains improve learning capacity, similar evidence is surprisingly lacking for invertebrates. [...]

Ecological flexibility, extended lifespans, and large brains have long intrigued evolutionary biologists, and comparative genomics offers an efficient and effective tool for generating new insights into the evolution of such traits. [...]

27 p, 1.5 MB Relative brain size and its relation with the associative pallium in birds / Sayol, Ferran (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Lefebvre, Louis (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Sol, Daniel (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
Despite growing interest in the evolution of enlarged brains, the biological significance of brain size variation remains controversial. Much of the controversy is over the extent to which brain structures have evolved independently of each other (mosaic evolution) or in a coordinated way (concerted evolution). [...]

8 p, 473.7 KB Evolutionary divergence in brain size between migratory and resident birds / Sol, Daniel (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Garcia-Forner, Núria (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals) ; Iwaniuk, Andrew (Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience) ; Davis, Katie (University of Reading. School of Biological Sciences) ; Meade, Andrew (University of Glasgow. Division of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) ; Boyle, W. Alice (University of Western Ontario. Department of Biology) ; Székely, Tasmás (University of Bath. Department of Biology and Biochemistry)
Despite important recent progress in our understanding of brain evolution, controversy remains regarding the evolutionary forces that have driven its enormous diversification in size. Here, we report that in passerine birds, migratory species tend to have brains that are substantially smaller (relative to body size) than those of resident species, confirming and generalizing previous studies.
