Is fluctuating asymmetry a signal or a Marker of genetic fitness?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (4):617-618 (2000)
| Abstract | Fluctuating asymmetry is more a signal of genetic fitness than a marker observable only to the researcher. Hence, it has to be demonstrated that low FA is an honest signal of genetic quality; this has not been demonstrated in Gangestad & Simpson's otherwise useful review. | |||||||||
