Fluctuating asymmetry in mice and rats: evaluation of the method.

Laboratory animals - 1 Apr 2002

Stub C, Ritskes-Hoitinga M, Thon R, Hansen C K, Hansen A K

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry, which reflects small, random deviations from symmetry in otherwise bilaterally symmetrical characters, may be used as an indicator of developmental instability in humans and farm animals, and it may also be applicable as a stress indicator. We intended to find a method to allow the use of fluctuating asymmetry as a stress indicator in laboratory animals. That method had to be reproducible...
