Asymmetry, Developmental Stability, and Evolution

摘要: Why does nature love symmetry? In this work, Moller and Swaddle analyze the evolutionary implication of symmetry. They advance explain their theory that asymmetry is related to genetic stability fitness, symmetric individuals appear have quantifiable significant advantages over asymmetric counterparts. When assessing potential mates or competitors, animals may be able use symmetry as an honest indication quality. This interdisciplinary book, with its associated Web-site, should interest students researchers in fields ecology, biology, genetics, animal behaviour.
