Breaking symmetry: Fluctuating asymmetry and geometric morphometrics as tools for evaluating developmental instability under diverse agroecosystems
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), in contrast with other asymmetries, is the bilateral asymmetry
that represents small, random developmental differences between right and left sides. After …
