Competition and body size

Theoretical Population Biology, 1986
If being larger than competing conspecifics is important for fitness, then an unstable escalation of body size may result. In asexual populations, a cycling of sizes can occur but for sexual diploids, an irreversible size increase is more likely. Several factors can produce a stable distribution of sizes, but a single body size or even a narrow range ...

Garment Sizes in Perception of Body Size

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2003
This paper reports an experimental investigation of the effect of garment size on perceived body size. The perceived body sizes of three Chinese men (thin, medium, and obese build) wearing different sizes of white T-shirts were assessed using Thompson and Gray's 1995 Nine-figural Scale in 1 (thinnest) to 9 (obese) grade and a newly-proposed method ...

Relationship Between Liver Size and Body Size

Radiology, 1968
WITH THE ADVENT of newer technics for organ visualization such as radionuclide scanning, it is helpful to know the normal range of organ size relative to body size. Unfortunately, little information on this subject is available. For example, most references give the range of liver weight in the adult male or female without giving the relationship to ...

Animal Body Size

2013
A number of common themes run throughout this volume. First, one begins to appreciate just how much variation there is in body size among most groups of animals. For the most part, a clade is not a homogenous collection of similar bauplans. Even among volant taxa, such as birds and bats, substantial variation in body mass exists despite the ...

Body size

1995
Abstract Variation in body size has been widely studied by evolutionary biologists, in part because it is relatively easy to measure. In diverse animal taxa, especially those with indeterminate growth, an individual’s size is an overwhelming predictor of its social status, relative fecundity, or probability of survival.
