Sexual selection related to developmental stability in Drosophila buzzatii

Relationships among developmental stability, sexual selection, and body size were examined in the cactophilic fly Drosophila buzzatii. Developmental stability, as measured in terms of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of wing length, was positively associated to male's copulatory success in a mass-mat...
