Developmental stability covaries with genome-wide and single-locus heterozygosity in house sparrows.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a measure of developmental instability, has been hypothesized to increase with genetic stress. Despite numerous studies providing empirical evidence for associations between FA and genome-wide properties such as multi-locus heterozygosity, support for single-locus effects remains scant. Here we test if, and to what extent, FA co-varies with single- and multilocus markers of genetic...
