Fluctuating asymmetry consists of random deviations from perfect symmetry in populations
of organisms. It is a measure of developmental noise, which reflects a population's average …

Meta-analysis is the statistical synthesis of the results of separate studies. It was adapted
from other disciplines for use in ecology and evolutionary biology beginning in the early …

During human evolutionary history, there were “trade-offs” between expending time and
energy on child-rearing and mating, so both men and women evolved conditional mating …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

Why does nature love symmetry? In Asymmetry, Developmental Stability and Evolution, M--
oslash--; ller and Swaddle analyse the evolutionary implications of symmetry. They advance …

Cues of phenotypic condition should be among those used by women in their choice of
mates. One marker of better phenotypic condition is thought to be symmetrical bilateral body …

In spite of a decade of furious activity and an increasingly bewildering array of analytical
methods, essential requirements for a robust study of fluctuating asymmetry have not …

Evidence suggests that female sexual preferences change across the menstrual cycle.
Women's extra–pair copulations tend to occur in their most fertile period, whereas their intra …

Research conducted in the last fifteen years has placed in question many of the traditional
conclusions scholars have formed about human female sexuality. Though conventional …

A previous study by the authors showed that the body scent of men who have greater body
bilateral symmetry is rated as more attractive by normally ovulating (non-pill-using) women …
