Prenatal Developmental Trajectories of Fluctuating Asymmetry in Bat Humeri [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Fluctuating asymmetry (random fluctuations between the left and right sides of the body) has been interpreted as an index to quantify both the developmental instabilities and homeostatic capabilities of organisms, linking the phenotypic and genotypic ...

Socioeconomic Status Is Not Related with Facial Fluctuating Asymmetry: Evidence from Latin-American Populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The expression of facial asymmetries has been recurrently related with poverty and/or disadvantaged socioeconomic status. Departing from the developmental instability theory, previous approaches attempted to test the statistical relationship between the ...

Is leaf fluctuating asymmetry related to plant and leaf size in Miconia albicans, a common Melastomataceae species? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2022 Fluctuating asymmetry, defined as random differences between the two sides of a symmetrical structure, has been often related to development stress in both plants and animals.

Light intensity affects leaf morphology in a wild population of Adenostyles alliariae (Asteraceae) [PDF]
Italian Botanist, 2019 Low light conditions can impose environmental stress on plants, and plants often respond adaptively by increasing their leaf area. Light stress on plants can also result in developmental instability, which can manifest as increased fluctuating asymmetry ...
