摘要: The influence of ectoparasitic water mite larvae (Arrenurus) on the fluctuating asymmetry (FA) forewing length and cell number in foreweings damselfly Coenagrion puella has been investigated. We show a significant correlation between FA load. Most explanations for increases implicate environmental stress combined with inability genome to stabilize phenotype. In contrast, our results demonstrate that could be result very short-term impact during ontogenesis, due chance parasitism.
