About the Book

Developmental Instability: Its Origins and Evolutionary Implications is a collection of papers and transcribed discussions from a conference held in Tempe, Arizona in June 1993. The papers represent a wide range of contributions, from the empirical to the theoretical, and include methods for measuring developmental instability across a variety of taxa and traits. This volume presents contrasting views on how to assess developmental instability as well as on the relationship of instability to genotypic factors, environmental factors and the action of natural and sexual selection. 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.

Table of Contents:
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. Relationships between stability, heterozygosity and genomic coadaptation.- Does homozygosity contribute to the asymmetry of common white leg markings in the Arabian horse?.- Associative overdominance: evaluating the effects of inbreeding and linkage disequilibrium.- Enzyme heterozygosity, metabolism, and developmental stability.- Modification of developmental instability and fitness: malathionresistance in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina.- Nonlinear growth dynamics and the origin of fluctuating asymmetry.- Developmental stability in plants: symmetries, stress and epigenesis.- Antisymmetry, directional asymmetry, and dynamic morphogenesis.- Morphological integration of fluctuating asymmetry in the mouse mandible.- Relationship between fluctuating asymmetry, morphological modality and heterozygosity in an elderly Israeli population.- Shaping intraspecific variation: development, ecology and the evolution of morphology and life history variation in tiger salamanders.- Persistence of subtle departures from symmetry over multiple molts in individual brachyuran crabs: relevance to developmental stability.- Bilateral variation and the evolutionary origin of macroscopic asymmetries.- Evolution developmental instability and the theory of acquisition.- Appearance fixation and stabilisation of environmentally induced phenotypic changes as a microevolutionary event.- Parental age and developmental stability in Drosophila melanogaster.- Developmental variability and the limits of adaptation: interactions with stress.- Parasites increase fluctuating asymmetry of male Drosophila nigrospiracula: implications for sexual selection.- Fluctuating asymmetry and sexual selection.- Developmental origins of variation in human hand preference.- Behavioral phenodeviance: a Lerneresque conjecture.- Minor anomalies: diagnostic clues to aberrant human morphogenesis.- Developmental instability and fluctuating asymmetry in man.- Fluctuating asymmetry analyses: a primer.- Session 1 Measuring developmental instability, Moderator.- Session 2 Developmental genetic origins, Moderator.- Session 3 Human health and phenotypic variation, Moderator.- Session 4 Population biology and conservation, Moderator.- List of conference participants.
