Major histocompatibility complex genes, symmetry, and body scent attractiveness in men and women (2003, background): “The male faces that women in the fertile phase of their cycle most prefer are more masculine than the faces they most prefer when in infertile phases (Johnston et al., 2001; Penton-Voak and Perrett, 2001; Penton-Voak et al., 1999 ).”

How valid are assessments of conception probability in ovulatory cycle research? Evaluations, recommendations, and theoretical implications (2016, methodology): “Two studies in the late 1990s triggered a rapid expansion of interest in psychological changes related to the ovulatory cycle (Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998; Penton-Voak et al., 1999; see also Grammer, 1993).”
Correlated preferences for men's facial and vocal masculinity (2008, unknown): “Indeed both men's (Saxton et al., 62006) and women's (Collins & Missing, 2003; Feinberg, CT ED P 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 117 118 119 120 121 12”
Does promiscuous mating preclude female choice? Female sexual strategies in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) of the Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire (2005, background): “Recent studies on human hypothetical mate preferences also suggest variation in female strategies across the estrous cycle (Gangestad and Thornhill 1998; Penton-Voak and Perrett 2000).”
Vocal masculinity is a robust dominance signal in men (2010, background): “Observers’ perceptions of men’s dominance and attractiveness have been shown to be affected by facial and vocal masculinity (e.g., Penton-Voak and Perrett 2000; Feinberg et al. 2005; DeBruine et al. 2006; Puts et al. 2006).”
Intelligence and mate choice: intelligent men are always appealing (2009, background): “Such preference shifts or “fertility effects” have been found for the importance of a short-term mate's symmetry as identified through his smell (Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998), facial masculinity (Johnston, Hagel, Franklin, Fink, & Grammer, 2001; Penton-Voak et al., 1999), social presence and dominan”

Visual adaptation to masculine and feminine faces influences generalized preferences and perceptions of trustworthiness (2006, methodology): “Because this interaction did not qualify the main effect of phase we observed (i.e., was not at all related to the experimental manipulation) and was, therefore, most likely to reflect individual differences in attitudes to sexual dimorphism in male faces (see Fink and Penton-Voak, 2002 and Penton-”
THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS (2005, background): “This finding has been replicated in a wide variety of human groups (e.g., United Kingdom, Japan, Russia), including traditional South American groups with little to no exposure to Western standards of beauty (e.g., Ache; Jones & Hill 1993).”
Domain-specific variation in disgust sensitivity across the menstrual cycle (2003, background): “…similar to that employed in a number of other cross-sectional menstrual cycle studies (cf. Chavanne & Gallup, 1998; Gangestad & Thornhill, 1998; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2000), assigning each participant a conception risk based on the number of days since onset of most recent menstruation (the…”
