Fluctuating asymmetry: an epigenetic measure of stress.

Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society - 1 May 1990

Parsons P A

Abstract excerpt

(1) Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is a useful trait for monitoring stress in the laboratory and in natural environments. (2) Both genomic and environmental changes can increase FA which represents a deterioration in developmental homeostasis apparent in adult morphology. Genetic perturbations include intense directional selection and certain specific genes. Environmental perturbations include temperature extremes in...
