This study reanalyzes the brain size/body size relationship in primates, finding a significant brain lag effect that does not converge on the allometric regression line, with brain size growth linked to group size and diet.

The paper examines how changes in primate brain structure, specifically subcortical and neocortex volumes, relate to social evolution through pair-living and group-living lifestyles.

The paper analyzes multilevel social systems in mammals and birds, distinguishing between fractally modular and casually modular structures, and links them to neocortex size and cognitive demands.

This study shows lactating feral goats at high latitudes increase foraging time but not enough to meet their kids' nutritional needs, and they minimize thermal costs by spending more time in shelter and at lower altitudes.

The paper shows that the social brain relationship observed in primates also applies to Insectivorans and Carnivorans, suggesting shared principles in mammalian social evolution.

The paper analyzes how climate, habitat, and scale affect feral goat population dynamics on the Isle of Rum, finding that winter temperatures and the NAO index influence growth rates, while red deer limit foraging access.

The paper investigates how the brain processes different social scales of emotional closeness and finds distinct neural patterns for close versus distant relationships.

The paper analyzes primate grooming networks to show three social grades arise from time constraints on social bonding, with some genera developing multilevel sociality similar to human networks.

This study shows that knowledge of genetic relationships modulates brain activity during moral dilemmas involving siblings.
