- Women's Sexual Strategies: The Evolution of Long-Term Bonds and Extrapair Sex (2006, background): “Height is also sexually dimorphic and has been linked with reproductive success in men (Mueller & Mazur, 2001; Nettle, 2002).”
- Cross-Cultural Variation in Mate Preferences for Averageness, Symmetry, Body Size, and Masculinity (2013, background): “Finally, taller American and European men have been shown to have higher reproductive success than shorter men (Feingold, 1982; Mueller & Mazur, 2001; Murray, 2000; Nettle, 2002a; Pawlowski, Dunbar, & Lipowicz, 2000).”
- From Dating to Mating and Relating: Predictors of Initial and Long–Term Outcomes of Speed–Dating in a Community Sample (2011, background): “…relationship in order to study the impact of short- versus long-term interest on the tendency to engage in mating (sexual intercourse) versus relating (establishing a serious romantic relationship) during the year following the speed-dating event (short- versus long-term interest hypotheses).”
- Trajectories and models of individual growth (2006, background): “Recent studies have found a positive relationship between stature and reproductive success of men in contemporary populations (Pawlowski et al., 2000; Mueller and Mazur, 2001; Nettle, 2002a).”
- Sex similarities and differences in preferences for short-term mates: what, whether, and why. (2006, background): “There is evidence that women who are shorter than average and men who are taller than average have greater reproductive success, as measured by number of children (e.g., Mueller & Mazur, 2001; Nettle, 2002).”
- Vocal masculinity is a robust dominance signal in men (2010, background): “In addition, objective measures of physical dominance, such as strength (Lassek and Gaulin 2009) and height (Mueller and Mazur 2001), and measures of social dominance (Chagnon 1988; Perusse 1993) predict components of mating success in contemporary populations.”
