Coss R, Tyler C
Anim Cogn . 2023 Jun; 26(4):1411-1421. PMID: 37269406
Previous research has shown that African jewel fish (Hemichromis bimaculatus) recognize pair-bonded mates during their exchanges of egg-guarding duties. The current research examined the perceptual cues for face recognition by...

Coss R, Charles E
Front Psychol . 2021 Dec; 12:763436. PMID: 34880813
Geometrically arranged spots and crosshatched incised lines are frequently portrayed in prehistoric cave and mobiliary art. Two experiments examined the saliency of snake scales and leopard rosettes to infants that...

Coss R, Cavanaugh C, Brennan W
Am J Primatol . 2019 Jan; 81(3):e22950. PMID: 30664280
In many primates, the acoustic properties of alarm calls can provide information on the level of perceived predatory threat as well as influence the antipredator behavior of nearby conspecifics. The...

Yorzinski J, Tovar M, Coss R
J Comp Psychol . 2018 Jul; 132(4):410-418. PMID: 30010348
Even prey that successfully evade attack incur costs when responding to predators. These nonlethal costs can impact their reproductive success and survival. One strategy that prey can use to minimize...

Brubaker A, Coss R
J Comp Psychol . 2015 Sep; 129(4):366-76. PMID: 26348970
Habituation to humans was an essential component of horse (Equus caballus ferus) domestication, with the nondomestication of zebras (Equus quagga) possibly reflecting an adaptive constraint on habituation. We present the...

Tromborg C, Coss R
Anim Cogn . 2015 Mar; 18(4):855-65. PMID: 25726178
This study of California ground squirrels (Otospermophilus beecheyi) investigated the long-term effects of isolation rearing on alarm-call recognition. Six wild-caught squirrels, trapped as yearlings, and six laboratory-reared squirrels were maintained...

Yorzinski J, Penkunas M, Platt M, Coss R
Evol Psychol . 2014 Oct; 12(3):534-48. PMID: 25299991
Predation is a major source of natural selection on primates and may have shaped attentional processes that allow primates to rapidly detect dangerous animals. Because ancestral humans were subjected to...

Thuppil V, Coss R
Biol Lett . 2013 Sep; 9(5):20130518. PMID: 24026347
Prey species exhibit antipredator behaviours such as alertness, aggression and flight, among others, in response to predators. The nature of this response is variable, with animals reacting more strongly in...

Penkunas M, Coss R
Dev Sci . 2013 Apr; 16(3):463-75. PMID: 23587043
Recent studies indicate that young children preferentially attend to snakes, spiders, and lions compared with nondangerous species, but these results have yet to be replicated in populations that actually experience...

Meno W, Coss R, Perry S
Am J Primatol . 2012 Dec; 75(3):292-300. PMID: 23238906
Young animals are known to direct alarm calls at a wider range of animals than adults. If social cues are safer and/or more reliable to use than asocial cues for...
