Selection shapes diverse animal minds.
Article in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This special issue explores the evolution of cognitive diversity across the animal kingdom, challenging the value of approaches that have a basis in human psychology in favour of a perspective that embraces the multiple evolutionary endpoints that natural selection has produced. This approach centres around the key role of sensory processing as integral to cognition, rather than as something to be disentangled from it; around the relevance of so-called 'simple' processes; around the constraints that shape evolutionary trajectories and around the nonlinear nature of the selective environment. The field is advancing through approaches that span neuroscience, theoretical modelling, field studies, population genetics and more. By reframing cognition as a set of solutions to the natural world's many challenges, we move closer to understanding animal minds as reflections of the numerous ways life has evolved to make use of information.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Selection shapes diverse animal minds.'
