Temperature shock during development fails to increase the fluctuating asymmetry of a sexual trait in stalk-eyed flies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jul 2001

Bjorksten T A, Pomiankowski A, Fowler K

Abstract excerpt

The fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilateral traits is claimed to be a general indicator of environmental stress. Exaggerated sexual ornaments are thought to show elevated levels of FA and a greater response to stress than other traits. Previous work with stalk-eyed flies (Cyrtodiopsis dalmanni) has shown that the FA of the sexual trait (male eye stalks), wing length and wing width were unaffected by a continually...
