Dental microstructure records life history events: A histological study of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from Gabon (2021)
Journal Article

Accentuated lines in dental microstructure are hypothesized to correlate with potentially stressful life history events, but our understanding of when, how and why such accentuated lines form in relation to stressful events is limited. We examined ac... Read More about Dental microstructure records life history events: A histological study of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from Gabon.

Journal Article

This study examined the relations between callous-unemotional traits and perpetration of aggression toward parents in two separate studies, while also considering motivation for aggression and parenting styles experienced among young people. Study 1... Read More about Callous-Unemotional Traits are Associated With Child-to-Parent Aggression.

Experimental manipulation of muscularity preferences through visual diet and associative learning (2021)
Journal Article

Body preferences are somewhat flexible and this variability may be the result of one’s visual diet (whereby mere exposure to certain bodies shifts preferences), associative learning mechanisms (whereby cues to health and status within the population...
