Springer (Verlag)
978-94-010-4357-1 (ISBN)
Readers will derive a working knowledge of the best way to assess developmental instability and will be able to design future work in an authoritative way.
Editorial overview.- Null alleles at two lactate dehydrogenase loci in rainbow trout are associated with decreased developmental stability.- The genetic basis of developmental stability. I.
