Developmental Instability cover

This field has generated a large amount of controversy of late, mostly because of fierce rivalry between some of the leading workers in the area. This book pulls together a synthetic overview of the field of developmental instability and fluctuating asymmetry, with the participation of the leading laboratories on both sides of the divide. Thereby creating a much needed synthesis of this timely topic in social evolution, mediating some of the disputes in the field.

"This new edited volume certainly provides a wonderful entrance into the current concepts and controversies in the field." --New Biological Books. "Altogether, this book is a pleasure to read. The individual chapters are well written and the book as a whole has clearly been well edited. It is also handsomely produced, with good clear print, decent figures, and very few typographical errors." BioScience
