Fluctuating asymmetry in certain morphological traits in laboratory populations of Drosophila ananassae.

Genome - 1 Jul 2006

Vishalakshi C, Singh B N

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA, subtle random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry) is often used as a measure of developmental instability (DI), which results from perturbations in developmental pathways caused by genetic or environmental stressors. During the present study, we estimated FA in 5 morphological traits, viz. wing length (WL), wing to thorax ratio (W:T), sternopleural bristle number (SBN), sex-comb...
