 Beautiful dwarf mongoose illustrations by wildlife artist Martin Aveling We have a new perspectives article out, proposing that interactions with rival outsiders could help explain the large amount of unexplained variation in brain size between species.
Here's the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18780-3 I've written a blog post on the Nature Ecology and Evolution community website here: natureecoevocommunity.nature.com/posts/napoleonic-intelligence-and-the-evolution-of-big-brains

Hi! I'm Patrick - an early-career postdoc in behavioural ecology. I completed my PhD in 2019, focused on Polistes paper wasps in South and Central America. I'm currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow and Simons Society Junior Fellow in the Rubenstein Lab at Columbia University (New York) and the Radford Lab at the University of Bristol (UK), looking at the social behaviour and evolution of Africa's incredible wasps! I'm always keen to get involved in outreach to spread the word about these amazing animals.
