at higher intensities

[Lazypierrot]

I would like to know what is meant by "more" and the phrase "at higher intensities" in the following sentence. I wonder if "more" means "more often" and "at higher intensities" means "more strongly", which results in "more bigger eyes."

dogs raised their inner eyebrows more and at higher intensities than wolves.


Cordially,

dogs raised their inner eyebrows more and at higher intensities than wolves.

"More" and "at higher intensities" does not make sense
because it says the same thing two times.

I think the original work might have said:

|Based on dissections of dog and wolf heads, we show that the
|levator anguli oculi medialis, a muscle responsible for raising
|the inner eyebrow intensely, is uniformly present in
|dogs but not in wolves.
|
|Behavioral data, collected from dogs and wolves, show that
|dogs produce the eyebrow movement significantly more often
|and with higher intensity than wolves do, with highest-
|intensity movements produced exclusively by dogs.

This clearly means: plus souvent et avec plus d'intensité.

It sounds like it means "higher".

It could have said "higher and at greater intensities" -- so LP may have it right.

Or it could just be badly written, but (unlike some of our other Chinese queriers)
LP has _still_ not learned to name her sources.
