Description:

Two contrasting hypotheses on the relationship between dental character variability and biochemical-genetic diversity: (1) "influence of developmental homeostasis" and (2) "genetic-phenetic variation correlation" were tested in brown hare Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778 populations. Interindividual variability (IV) and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of 12 non-metrical characters of third lower premolars (P3) as well as allozymic heterozygosity (H) at 13 polymorphic loci was examined in 385 individuals from 19 geographical sampling units (GSU) in Austria.Juveniles and adults were discriminated according to dry eye lens weights. Sex was determined from internal reproductive organs.
