Presents an overview of the field of developmental instability and fluctuating asymmetry.
This field has generated a large amount of controversy of late, mostly because of fierce rivalry between some of the leading workers in the area. This book pulls together a synthetic overview of the field of developmental instability and fluctuating asymmetry, with the participation of the leading laboratories on both sides of the divide. Thereby creating a much needed synthesis of this timely topic in social evolution, mediating some of the disputes in the field.
