Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in gorillas has been linked to environmental and/or genetic stress. Prolonged population declines increase levels of inbreeding, leading to developmental instability, which can manifest as FA. Among gorillas studied to date, craniofacial FA levels are highest in mountain gorillas (G. beringei beringei) and lowest in western lowland gorillas (G. gorilla gorilla),...
