Fluctuating asymmetry does not increase with moderate inbreeding in Drosophila melanogaster.

Heredity - 1 Oct 1994

Fowler K, Whitlock M C

Abstract excerpt

Fluctuating asymmetry, the unsigned difference between character values on the left and right sides of an individual, is often thought to be highly correlated with the heterozygosity of individuals or populations. A large sample of Drosophila melanogaster individuals with an inbreeding coefficient of F = 0.25 was derived from a laboratory population and compared to a sample of outbred individuals for the...
