Article

A polymorphism in the oestrogen receptor gene explains covariance between digit ratio and mating behaviour.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2010

Forstmeier Wolfgang, Mueller Jakob C, Kempenaers Bart

Abstract excerpt

In vertebrates, including humans, the relative length of the second to the fourth digit correlates with sex hormone-dependent behavioural, psychological and physiological traits. However, despite a decade of research, the underlying mechanism linking digit ratio to these sex hormone-dependent tra...
