Description
Summary:<Em>Developmental Instability: Its Origins and Evolutionary Implications</em> 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. <br/> 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. <br/>
