Leveraging brain–body scaling relationships for comparative studies https://t.co/A6w8RJXk2K
Finally, in a response, @DanielHorschler and @EvanMacLean use simulations to explore the consequences of using body size as a proxy for brain weight, and argue that under certain conditions body weight can be used as a reliable predictor for brain weight.

@DanielHorschler’s response is here. His response has some great simulations explaining the issue, but he argues tight correlations between traits can be an opportunity to use reliable proxies, rather than a problem. See here: https://t.co/pSUZ8ilMYq 4/n

My latest @SpringerANCO paper w/@EvanMacLean re: @eohomo's commentary on our work linking estimated brain size to executive function in dogs is out! We assess consequences of using body size as a proxy for brain size under varying conditions via simulation
