The limits of super recognition: An other-ethnicity effect in individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills (2019)
Journal Article
Bate, S., Bennetts, R., Hasshim, N., Portch, E., Murray, E., Burns, E., & Dudfield, G. (2019). The limits of super recognition: An other-ethnicity effect in individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 45, 363. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000607

In the last decade there has been increasing interest in super-recognizers, who have an extraordinary ability to recognize faces. However, it has not yet been investigated whether these individuals are subject to the same biases in face recognition a...

The Benefits and Limitations of Predicting One Repetition Maximum Using the Load-Velocity Relationship (2019)
Journal Article

This review aims to provide an overview of the current load-velocity (L-V) approaches and their ability to estimate one-repetition maximum (1RM). The bench press exercise appears to be the most valid and reliable when applying this approach. The abil...

Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy (2019)
Journal Article
Baillie, C., Welicky, R., Hadfield, K., Smit, N., Mariani, S., & Beck, R. (2019). Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 19, 207. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1533-x

Background
Parasite attachment structures are critical traits that influence effective host exploitation and survival. Morphology of attachment structures can reinforce host specificity and niche specialisation, or even enable host switching. Theref...

Captive-born collared peccaries learning about their predators : lessons learnt but not remembered (2019)
Journal Article
de Faria, C., de Souza Sá, F., Lovenstain Costa, D., da Silva, M., da Silva, B., Young, R., & de Azevedo, C. (2020). Captive-born collared peccaries learning about their predators : lessons learnt but not remembered. Behavioural Processes, 171, 104031. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2019.104031

Captive-born animals frequently lose their anti-predatory abilities due to the absence of encounters with their predators, but these abilities can be regained through specific training. Anti-predator training can, thus, enhance the success of reintro... Read More about Captive-born collared peccaries learning about their predators : lessons learnt but not remembered.
