Developmental instability in domesticated mammals
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, 2021Abstract Measures of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) have been adopted widely as an estimate of developmental instability. Arising from various sources of stress, developmental instability is associated with an organism's capacity to maintain fitness.

Developmental instability, fluctuating asymmetry, and human psychological science
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2022Developmental instability (DI) is an individual's inability to produce a specific developmental outcome under a given set of conditions, generally thought to result from random perturbations experienced during development. Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) — asymmetry on bilateral features that, on average, are symmetrical (or asymmetry deviating from that ...

Developmental instability and schizotypy
Schizophrenia Research, 2000It has been suggested that evidence of developmental disturbance of cognition and lateralisation in schizophrenia can be best understood from the perspective of developmental stability (DS), an indicator of the extent to which an individual develops according to a specified ontogenic programme in the presence of environmental noise.

Growth and developmental instability
The Veterinary Journal, 2003Developmental stability reflects the ability of an individual to develop a regular phenotype under given environmental and genetic conditions. Measures of developmental instability include the degree of fluctuating asymmetry and the frequency of phenodeviants.

Psychopathy and developmental instability
Evolution and Human Behavior, 2001Psychopaths are manipulative, impulsive, and callous individuals with long histories of antisocial behavior. Two models have guided the study of psychopathy. One suggests that psychopathy is a psychopathology, i.e., the outcome of defective or perturbed development.

Developmental instability is heritable
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 1997A. P. Moller’.* and R. Thornhill’ ‘Laborutoire d’Ecologie, CNRS URA 258, UniversitB Pierre et Murie Curie, B&. A, 7w Parsons, 1990) and discussion at the developmental stability workshop mentioned below. Furthermore, some workers in developmental stability have claimed that there should not be any heritability of stability (e.g., Zakharov, 1989; Palmer

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis as developmental instability
Genetica, 1995Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity affecting children, with a prevalence from mass screening programmes of 1-3%. Despite centuries of study, it remains a problem with no generally accepted theory of aetiology, and disagreement on its natural history and management. Because the deformity consists ultimately of gross left-

Developmental instability and cerebral lateralization.
Neuropsychology, 1997On the basis of prior studies of handedness, it was predicted that variations from modal asymmetry scores on cognitive tasks, in either direction from the mean, would be associated with an elevated incidence of classic markers of developmental instability (minor physical anomalies and fluctuating anatomic asymmetries).

Abstract Fear lives among Everest’s mighty ice-fluted faces and howls across its razor-sharp crags. Gnawing at reason and enslaving minds, it has killed many and defeated countless others. But in 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay stared into its dark eye and did not waver.

Developmental instability and performance
1997Abstract In this chapter we review the evidence that links asymmetry with decreased performance, particularly in relation to locomotion. In other words, we investigate the functional costs of asymmetry. We start by explaining why symmetry is the ideal phenotypic expression in many cases of performance (section 7.2).
