Facial perception plays a key role in various social interactions, including formidability assessments. People make relatively accurate inferences about men's physical strength, aggressiveness, and success confrontations based on facial cues. The factors related to the of fighting ability their relative contribution have not been investigated yet, since most existing studies employed only limited number threat potential measures or proxies. In present study, we collected data from Czech...
Studies in social perception traditionally use as stimuli frontal portrait photographs. It turns out, however, that 2D depiction may not fully capture the entire morphological diversity of facial features. Recently, 3D images started to become increasingly popular, but whether their differs from has been systematically studied yet. Here we investigated congruence portrait, left profile, and 360° rotation The photographs were obtained 45 male athletes under standardized conditions. In two...
Ultraviolet patterns in butterflies have been recognized and studied for many years. They are frequently involved both intraspecific interspecific interactions. Only a handful of studies, however, investigated possible links between ultraviolet (UV) reflectance ecological properties some genera the Lepidoptera as whole. This study examines impact habitat distribution on UV wings 106 species subspecies Colias butterflies. Based standardized digital photographs, we performed multivariate...
Abstract Previous research has indicated that facial attractiveness may provide cues to the functioning of immune system. Mating with individuals who have a more effective system could lead higher reproductive success. Our main aim was test possible association between immunoreactivity (stimulated by vaccination) and perceived healthiness. We experimentally activated healthy men using vaccination against hepatitis A/B meningococcus measured levels specific antibodies (markers reactivity)...
Dominance hierarchy is often established via repeated agonistic encounters where consistent winners are considered dominant. Human body odour contains cues to psychological dominance and competition, but it not known whether competition outcome (a marker of a change in hierarchy) affects the hedonic quality human axillary odour. Therefore, we investigated effect winning losing on quality. We collected samples from Mixed Martial Arts fighters approximately 1 h before immediately after match....
The subject of our investigation was the visual features wing color with special focus on UV reflectance in green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi). Previous studies had concluded that dorsal surfaces is found only female P. napi. Based sensitive photography, we analyzed a correlation between 12 geographic and environmental factors patterns 3 patches forewings 407 napi specimens from Palaearctic region. Results shown females significantly differ males: they exhibit 25% higher reflectance....
Several previous studies have shown that in mammals, the health status of conspecifics can be assessed based on perceptual cues. Olfactory, visual, or acoustic cues may lead to avoidant behavior, thus reducing risk contagion by close contact with infected individuals. We tested whether immune system activation after immunization leads perceptible changes body odor and facial vocal attractiveness humans. experimentally activated male participants using vaccination against hepatitis A/B...
