Lack of response to selection for lower fluctuating asymmetry of mutant eyespots in the butterfly Bicyclus anynana.

Heredity - 1 Jul 2003

Breuker C J, Brakefield P M

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is claimed both to provide a means of evaluating developmental stability, and to reflect an individual's quality or the stress experienced during development. FA refers to the nondirectional variation between left and right sides, whereas directional asymmetry (DA) refers to a significant directional variation between the sides. We studied four eyespots on the dorsal forewing of the...
