<strong></strong>Different Carapace Asymmetry among Sexes in Wild Red-Footed Tortoise Chelonoidis carbonarius Spix 1824 (Testudines: Testudinidae)

2024-01-03

Abstract excerpt

Developmental stability (DS) is indicated by the ability of individuals to resist random environmental and/or genetic perturbations during their development. Fluctuating Asymmetry (FA) is the commonest mean of assessing DS in bilateral traits. FA is defined as small random deviations from an ideal morphological symmetry. To date, little attention has been paid to sexual differences in FA among tortoises. With this...
