Abstract Recent studies have shown that, in contemporary populations, tall men have
greater reproductive success than shorter men. This appears to be due to their greater ability
to attract mates. To our knowledge, no comparable results have yet been reported for ...

Abstract 1. In this article, the authors propose a theoretical model of the relationship between
physical height and career success. We then test several linkages in the model based on a
meta-analysis of the literature, with results indicating that physical height is significantly ...

Abstract 1. Examined height and academic success using random samples of male faculty
and department chairpersons. In Study 1, a random sample of 83 faculty members revealed
that academics are taller than the average American of their age and gender. The ...

So last September, Ms. Zhang decided to take over where nature left off. She checked
herself into a hospital here and a doctor cut her shinbones in two, applied a medieval-
looking brace to her legs and taught her how to turn its screws so that metal pins would ...

Abstract Two recent studies have shown a relationship between male height and number of
offspring in contemporary developed-world populations. One of them argues as a result that
directional selection for male tallness is both positive and unconstrained. This paper uses ...

Abstract The relationship between height and occupational success is reviewed. Examining
the focal areas of academia, police work, and sales, the review concludes that height is an
important attribute in securing a position but that it has little effect on job performance. ...

Abstract The sprouting success of co-occurring populations of shrub species in a temperate
woodland of semi-arid Australia was investigated and related to population survival
strategies. Straw was added to 21× 15 m plots in the woodland, burnt and the pre-fire ...

Abstract In Western societies, height is positively correlated with reproductive success (RS)
for men but negatively correlated with RS for women. These relationships have been
attributed to sexual selection: women prefer tall men, and men prefer short women. It is ...

Abstract: We examine the relationship between height and reproductive success (RS) in
women from a natural fertility population in the Gambia. We observe the predicted trade-off
between adult height and age at first birth: women who are tall in adulthood have later first ...
