Brief Communication: Facial Fluctuating Asymmetry as a Marker of Sex Differences of the Response to Phenotypic Stresses
(WILEY-LISS, 2010)
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is thought to increase as a result of environmental perturbations during development. A number of studies involving measures of health and developmental stability other than FA have discussed the ...
Tall men with medium body fat mass percentage display more developmental stability
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2010)
A symmetrical body may signal the ability of an individual to cope with developmental perturbations and may thus be considered a 'health certificate'. It is known that symmetrical men are considered more attractive by women ...
Facial symmetry in young girls and boys from a slum and a control area of Ankara, Turkey
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010)
Deviations from perfect symmetry in paired traits of otherwise bilateral symmetrical organisms are thought to reflect developmental quality, especially the ability to resist environmental perturbations early in ontogeny. ...
Fluctuating and Directional Asymmetry in Young Human Males: Effect of Heavy Working Condition and Socioeconomic Status
(WILEY, 2010)
Many adverse environmental and genetic factors can affect stability of development during human growth. Although the level of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) may be influenced by environmental and genetic stress encountered ...
Effect of Inbreeding Depression on Growth and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Turkish Young Males
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)
This study sought to examine the effects of inbreeding on physical development and fluctuating asymmetry (FA). A total 144 male high-school students (mean age = 18.11 +/- 0.52) whose parents are first cousins (F = 0.125) ...
