    ..Peculiarities in the estimated logEQs for the extinct caniform family Amphicyonidae were also investigated; these unusual patterns are likely due to a unique allometry in scaling brain to body size in this single clade...

    ..We therefore conclude that a single event, such as vicariance or common dispersal, cannot explain the presence of both groups in Madagascar...
