Temperature and genotypic effects on life history and fluctuating asymmetry in a field strain of Culex pipiens.

Heredity - 1 Apr 2002

Mpho M, Callaghan A, Holloway G J

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) has been proposed as a tool to measure levels of stress experienced by populations of organisms during development. To be of value as a bio-marker to highlight conditions at particular sites, it is important that variation in FA is due to environmental (eg pollution) variation and not genetic variation among populations and families, in other words heritability for FA should be very...
