Long-term patterns of forearm asymmetry in females of three syntopic bat species and its effects on individual fitness

Abstract Fluctuating asymmetry, the non-directional deviation from bilateral symmetry resulting from developmental instability, can indicate early-life environmental stress. While fluctuating asymmetry can affect individual survival and reproductive success, its effect on fitness differs between spe...
