However, most of the evidence for this proposal has come from studies of changes in young adult women's attractiveness over the menstrual cycle. By contrast with this emphasis on changes in attractiveness over the menstrual cycle, possible changes in women's attractiveness over their lifespan have received little attention. The present study investigated men's ratings of young girls' (11-15 years old), adult women's (19-30 years old) and circum-menopausal women's (50-65 years old) facial, body odor, and vocal attractiveness and femininity. Faces and voices, but not body odors, of young girls and adult women were perceived to be significantly more attractive and feminine than those of circum-menopausal women. These data suggest that facial and vocal cues may be cues to women's reproductive value, but that body odor cues do not necessarily advertise this information."],["dc.identifier.isi","000325896000009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23728193"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/31071"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Evolutionary Psychol"],["dc.relation.issn","1474-7049"],["dc.title","Facial, Olfactory, and Vocal Cues to Female Reproductive Value"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Recent research, however, suggests that a decrease in skin colour homogeneity leads to older, less healthy and less attractive ratings of facial skin in both women and men. Here, we elaborate on the significance of the homogeneity of visible skin colouration in men by testing the hypothesis that perception of age, health and attractiveness of (non-contextual) digitally isolated fields of cheek skin only can predict that of whole facial images. Facial digital images of 160 British men (all Caucasian) aged between 10 and 70 were blind-rated for age, health and attractiveness by a total of 147 men and 154 women (mean age similar to 22.95, SD similar to 4.26), and these ratings were related to those of corresponding images of cheek skin reported by Fink et al. (J. Eur. Acad. Dermatol. Venereol. in press). Linear regression analysis showed that age, health and attractiveness perception of mens faces could be predicted by the ratings of cheek skin only, such that older men were viewed as older, less healthy and less attractive. This result underlines once again the potent signalling role of skin in its own right, independent of shape or other factors and suggests strongly that visible skin condition, and skin colour homogeneity in particular, plays a significant role in the perception of mens faces."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1468-2494.2012.00724.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000306223200004"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22515406"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/25933"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","0142-5463"],["dc.title","Visible skin colouration predicts perception of male facial age, health and attractiveness"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, humans are probably the only species who applies artificial ornaments. Such deliberate alterations of the skin, e.g., tattoos and scarring patterns, have been discussed by researchers as potential handicap signals, but there is still very little information about a potential biological signaling value of body modification. In this study eye-tracking was employed to investigate the signaling value of tattoos and other body modification. Measurement of gaze duration of 50 individuals while watching plain, scarred, accessorized, and tattooed bodies of artificial human images indicated that participants looked significantly longer at tattooed than at scarred, accessorized, and plain bodies. Generally, male participants paid more attention to tattooed stimuli of both sexes. More detailed analyses showed that particularly female tattooed stimuli were looked at longer. These findings are discussed within an evolutionary framework by suggesting that tattoos might have some signaling value which influences the perception of both male and female conspecifics and may hence also affect mating decisions."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.2466/pms.104.4.1337-1349"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150868"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/86009"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-425"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1558-688X"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-5125"],["dc.title","Visual Attention to Plain and Ornamented Human Bodies: An Eye-Tracking Study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here we consider such links in a large Internet study of sex differences (the BBC Internet Study) in which finger lengths were self-measured. Consistent with lab-based findings the 2D:4D in this study shows sexual dimorphism, ethnic differences and higher dimorphism of right 2D:4D than left, thereby indicating that 2D:4D does measure real between-participant variation. High error in self-measurement of fingers reduces effect sizes. However, the large sample size gives assurance that significant effects are likely to be real. We controlled for ethnicity and sexual orientation by considering White heterosexuals only (153,429 participants). Sexual dimorphism was confirmed in 2D:4D and for the difference of right-left 2D:4D. After Bonferroni correction we found highly significant relationships with low effect sizes as follows. In males and females there were negative associations between 2D:4D and dominance. In males there were negative associations between 2D:4D and family size and factors associated with reproductive success. For females these associations were positive. For asymmetry we found U-shaped relationships with 2D:4D in both males and females. We found no relationship between 2D:4D and promiscuity (sociosexuality). In total, we considered 48 relationships and found 29 to be significant. We compare our findings with a similar study reported by Putz et al.

Although morphological features such as facial symmetry and sexually dimorphic traits have been studied extensively in recent years, little is known about skin condition in this context. The preferences for young and healthy looking skin could offer an explanation as to why women place such an importance on the condition of their skin and its refinement through e.g., cosmetic products. Recent research showed that facial skin colour distribution significantly influences the perception of age and attractiveness of female faces, independent of skin surface topography cues. However, the relative effect of skin colour distribution and topography cues on age and health perception remains to be investigated. We present data showing that both skin colour distribution and skin surface topography cues not only significantly influence the perception of female facial age and health but also convey differential information with regard to the strength of these effects. Our data indicate that skin surface topography cues account for a large proportion of variation in facial age perception, whereas skin colour distribution seems to be a stronger health cue."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1468-3083.2007.02512.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000254276000015"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18081752"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/54650"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Blackwell Publishing"],["dc.relation.issn","0926-9959"],["dc.title","The effects of skin colour distribution and topography cues on the perception of female facial age and health"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Study Design: Species-specific, longitudinal time study. Methods: Lengthening of 25% of the right tibia was performed in 24 beagle dogs by callus distraction after osteotomy and application of a ring fixator. Distraction was started at the fifth postoperative day with a distraction rate of 0.5 mm twice a day. Twelve dogs were killed at the end of the distraction phase of 25 days (group A) and the remaining 12 dogs after an additional consolidation period of 25 days (group B). The tibia was removed from the distracted right leg and from the left control side of each animal, and longitudinal sections were cut and stained with Pentachrome. In all tibiae, an area of 0.5 x 2.4 cm within the endosteal bone was evaluated histomorphometrically with a Metz grid, and the results were compared between distraction and control side as well as between the dogs of group A and group B. Results: On the distraction side, the typical signs of an increased de novo bone formation with a significant increase of osteoblasts and osteoid in group A, as well as an additional significant increase of bone volume and trabecular thickness in group B, were found. In all distraction cases, islands of cartilage formation, which underwent enchondral ossification, were found, besides membranous ossification. The ratio between membranous and enchondral ossification was found to be five to one.
