Description:

Authors compared developmental stability and total phenotypic diversity of 25 skull characters in three populations of European bison Bison bonasus (Linnaeus, 1758). Developmental stability was measured by fluctuating asymmetry, which was estimated by the variance of the left-right (l-r) and scaled (l-r)/(l+r) differences between the left (l) and right (r) sides of the skull. Mean number of asymmetrical characters per individual was used as an integrated index of developmental stability.
