Habitat dependent associations between parasitism and fluctuating asymmetry among endemic stickleback populations.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2005

Bergstrom C A, Reimchen T E

Abstract excerpt

Inconsistencies in the relationship between fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and fitness may be due to selection acting on the degree of trait asymmetry that differs among populations or among traits. We assessed relationships between parasite susceptibility and fluctuating asymmetry in the number of bony lateral plates among 83 populations of freshwater Gasterosteus aculeatus (three spined stickleback) and among...
