Fluctuating asymmetry is nongenetically related to mating success in Drosophila buzzatii.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 11 Nov 2001

Abstract excerpt

To date, there is still no consensus on the real significance of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in evolutionary biology. Some studies have established links between FA and Darwinian fitness, and in a number of cases intermediate heritabilities for FA have been reported. However, many claims have been raised against the generality of these findings. I therefore tested if FA of a sexually selected trait (wing length)...
