The ontogeny of fluctuating asymmetry.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2003

Kellner James R, Alford Ross A

Abstract excerpt

We tested seven hypotheses regarding the mechanisms by which fluctuating asymmetry (FA) originates. We did this by analyzing data on four bilateral characters measured repeatedly during the development of individual domestic fowl. Immediately posthatching, there was substantial directional asymmetry, which rapidly decreased. We detected FA at significant levels in all characters in the majority of our...
