Hence, genetic differentiation, ecological correlates and epidemiology all suggest that there are important biological differences among these F. tularensis subsp. tularensis populations.
Thus, data on the ecological correlates of overall brain size cannot reveal which brain compartments are functionally significant to animals in novel environments.
To examine ecological correlates of ant distribution patterns, we created a functional group matrix based on diet and nesting habits and thus provide a useful framework to describe and analyze ant community structure.
To date, relatively few studies have analyzed brain structure evolution in both sexes and a recent study highlights the pitfalls of analyzing sexually selected characters independently, without including previously identified ecological correlates [42].
