Effects of temperature and genetic stress on life history and fluctuating wing asymmetry in Culex pipiens mosquitoes
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilaterally symmetrical organisms has been introduced as a promising indicator of environmental stress. Stress factors reported to contribute to developmental stability include inbreeding and the presence of resistance genes. In the current study we examined the effect...
