Abstract
Behavioral ecologists are being attracted to the study of within-individual morphological variability, manifested in random deviations from bilateral symmetry, as a means of ascertaining the stress susceptibility of developmental regulatory mechanisms. Several early successes Indicate that incorporating measures of symmetry into sexual-selection studies may help link individual sexual success to a basic component of viability - developmental stability.Year: 1994 PMID： 21236756 DOI： 10.1016/0169-5347(94)90227-5
