Abstract excerpt
The impact of interracial hybridization on fluctuating asymmetry (FA) and phenotypic variability (σ(2)p) in a presumed natural hybrid zone between the stick insects, Bacillus rossius rossius Rossi and Bacillus rossius redtenbacheri Nasceti & Bullini (Phasmatodea: Bacillidea), found on the Italian island Sardinia was investigated. The lengths of three bilateral traits and three unilateral traits were measured, and...
