Radiācijas ietekme uz sarkanblakšu Pyrrhocoris apterus fluktuālo asimetriju
The level of environmental radiation has an effect on the development of animals. Measuring fluctuating asymmetry is a comparatively new method, that is considered to be effective in determining environmental stress. The aim of this study is to measure fluctuating asymmetry of red firebugs collected from territories with various intensities of ...
