Fluctuating asymmetry and romantic jealousy

Evolution and Human Behavior, 2003
Abstract We investigated whether fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is related to the expression of romantic jealousy. The mate retention hypothesis suggests that romantic jealousy functions to prevent philandering, so one's mate value, relative to rivals, may be a factor modulating jealousy. FA was used as a measure of mate value, and we found, as predicted,

Food, feathers and fluctuating asymmetries

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1994
Nutritional, or energetic, stress has been implicated as a causal factor in the inter-individual differences in levels of fluctuating asymmetry in the elongated tails of male swallows (Hirundo rustica). However, there has been no direct experimental test of this hypothesis.

Facial masculinity and fluctuating asymmetry

Evolution and Human Behavior, 2003
Abstract Recently, women have been found to prefer the scent of symmetrical men and relatively masculine male faces more during the fertile (late follicular and ovulatory) phases of their menstrual cycles than during their infertile (e.g., luteal) phases.

Fluctuating Asymmetry of Woody Plants

2009
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) represents small, random deviations from symmetry of a bilaterally symmetrical trait (Ludwig 1932). This variation is non-directional, with a normal distribution of signed right minus left differences whose mean is zero. Some researchers, however, suggest that the distribution of these values is generally leptokurtic, i.e ...

Fluctuating asymmetry analyses: a primer

1994
The developmental stability of an organism is reflected in its ability to produce an ‘ideal’ form under a particular set of conditions (Zakharov, 1992). The lower its stability, the greater the likelihood it will depart from this ‘ideal’ form. Ideal forms are rarely known a priori.
