[Genetic variability and fluctuating asymmetry of morphological signs of Drosophila melanogaster during development in a pesticide-containing environment].

Abstract excerpt

The effects of chlorine-organic insecticide endosulfane (thiodan) on phenotypic and genetic variation in four morphological traits of Drosophila melanogaster (wing length, thorax length, the number of orbital bristles and the number of sternopleural bristles) were examined. In addition, the effect of this pesticide on stability of development measured as fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral traits was estimated. On...
