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 ...

The Significance of Body Size

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1959
For some time I have felt that doctors have created unnecessary confusion in the rules intended to take account of the different body sizes of infants, children, and adults. The difficulty arises largely from failure to utilize available knowledge of physiological relationships. Doctors know that total metabolism is considerably greater per kilogram of

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 ...

Brain Size and the Diversification of Body Size in Birds

The American Naturalist, 2008
Large brains are associated with increased cognitive skills, enabling animals to use new environments and resources more successfully. Such behavioral flexibility is theoretically expected to have macroevolutionary consequences. First, populations of big-brained individuals should more easily become established in new locations, increasing ...

Size-Dependent In Vivo Transport of Nanoparticles: Implications for Delivery, Targeting, and Clearance.

ACS Nano, 2023
Understanding the in vivo transport of nanoparticles provides guidelines for designing nanomedicines with higher efficacy and fewer side effects. Among many factors, the size of nanoparticles plays a key role in controlling their in vivo transport ...
