Fluctuating asymmetry as a special kind of asymmetry can be defined as deviations from a
known predetermined ratio of the parts of morphological structure under study. As a special …

Urbanization has a major impact on biodiversity. For many organisms, the urbanization
process means environmental stress caused by fragmentation and increased temperatures …

The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of fluctuating asymmetry in Pelophylax
ridibundus populations inhabiting the River of Sazliyka (southern Bulgaria), polluted with …

Developmental stability of an individual is often evaluated by means of fluctuating
asymmetry (FA) in bilaterally paired morphological characters. Even though FA has been …

Current environment changes and global amphibian decline suggest specific responses
assuming urbanisation potential of the species. Amphibians are generally considered to be …

Objectives Craniofacial fluctuating asymmetry (FA) refers to the random deviations from
symmetry exhibited across the craniofacial complex and can be used as a measure of …

Contrary to conventional agriculture, organic farming, where agrochemicals are entirely
avoided, is considered more environmentally friendly. Numerous studies undertaken in …

Loss of developmental stability can lead to deviations from bilateral symmetry (ie Fluctuating
Asymmetry‐FA), and is thought to be caused by environmental and genetic factors …

Fluctuating asymmetry is a result of the organism's inability to develop in a certain way and
exhibits disruptions in its early-stage developmental stability. The analysis of fluctuating …

Among human activities agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss worldwide
in recent decades. The effects of agricultural intensification on vertebrate populations may …
