Forskningsprojekt The evolutionary link between brain morphology variation and behaviour

Du kan läsa mera om projektet på vår engelska sida.

Min grupp studerar hur utvecklingen av hjärnan och beteendet är sammanlänkade. Projektet arbetar brett, från laboratorieexperiment på intraspecifik variation till storskaliga fylogenetiska jämförande analyser på tusentals arter av ryggradsdjur.
