Secular changes in body height predict global rates of caesarean section
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 The massive global variation in caesarean-section (C-section) rate is usually attributed to socio-economic, medical and cultural heterogeneity. Here, we show that a third of the global variance in current national C-section rate can be explained by the ...

Parental education, health literacy and children’s adult body height
Journal of Biosocial Science, 2019 Human anthropometric traits, while significantly determined by genetic factors, are also affected by an individual’s early life environment. An adult’s body height is a valid indicator of their living conditions in childhood.

Simulation of snakes using vertical body bending to traverse terrain with large height variation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Snake moves across various terrains by bending its elongated body. Recent studies discovered that snakes can use vertical bending to traverse terrain of large height variation, such as horizontally oriented cylinders, a wedge (Jurestovsky, Usher, Astley, 2021, J. Exp. Biol.), and uneven terrain (Fu & Li, 2020, Roy. Soc.

Prediction of Stature Based on Foot Length
Journal of Nobel Medical College, 2014 Background Estimation of body height from its segments or dismember parts has important considerations for identifications of living or dead human body or remains recovered from mass disaster or other similar conditions.

Audio-tactile cues from an object’s fall change estimates of one’s body height
PLoS ONE, 2018 When we drop an object from our hands, we use internal models of both our body height and object-motion to predict when it will hit the floor. What happens if the sensory feedback finally received from the impact conflicts with this prediction?
