Fluctuating Asymmetry
Fluctuating asymmetry refers to small random deviations from perfect symmetry in bilaterally paired structures; it is thought to reflect an organism’s ability to cope with genetic and environmental stress during development and its utility as an indicator of such stresses is based on the assumption that perfect symmetry is an a priori expectation for the ideal state of bilateral structures. Flu...
متن کاملGeographical Domain and Geographical Information Systems
In the eld of geography, we have beenexamining the contribution of the morpho-genetic rep-resentation to the comprehension of the cycle: reality,representation, model, reality. A distinction is madebetween map and geomap based on the notion of locus-object. 1. Foundations and limits of cartographic rep-
متن کاملDisentangling fluctuating asymmetry from otolith shape
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), defined as random deviations from ideal, perfect symmetry, has been hypothesized to be negatively associated with fitness and positively associated with stress. Fish otoliths deserve special attention in regard to this topic because their FA is relatively easy to measure, unlike the fitness of wild fish themselves. In addition, otoliths are convenient for estimating ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Information Asymmetry on the Relationship between Firm Geographical Location and Future Stock Price Crash Risk
The aim of research is to investigate the effect of information asymmetry on the relationship between geographical location of firm and risk of stock price crash in the Iranian listed companies in Tehran stock exchange. For this Purpose, data of 110 listed companies was gathered and analyzed periodically in 2016. Distance Cosine index was used for geographical location, as the independent varia...
متن کاملERROR: Lessons from Sex Ratios, Heritabilities and Fluctuating Asymmetry
■ Abstract Selective reporting—e.g., the preferential publication of results that are statistically significant, or consistent with theory or expectation—presents a challenge to meta-analysis and seriously undermines the quest for generalizations. Funnel graphs (scatterplots of effect size vs. sample size) help reveal the extent of selective reporting. They also allow the strength of biological...
