A New Fluctuating Asymmetry Index, or the Solution for the Scaling Effect?
Two principal methods are commonly employed for the estimation of developmental instability at the population level. Some studies use variances of morphological traits (σ2p), while others use fluctuating asymmetry (FA). In both cases, differences in the degree of developmental instability can be tes...
