Leaf size is more sensitive than leaf fluctuating asymmetry as an indicator of plant stress caused by simulated herbivory
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), defined as small, random departures away from perfect symmetry, is frequently recommended as a sensitive and universal indicator of environmental stress imposed by both abiotic and biotic factors. However, the stress sensitivities of FA and of other morphological traits a...
