## Abstract Differences between the dimensions of left and right molar teeth are analyzed in the context of measurement error while considering the power of the FβRatio. Molar teeth from two Nubian cemeteries, 24βSβ46 and 21βRβ2, excavated at Kulubnarti, Sudan, were initially measured, and then rem

Environmental and/or genetic stresses may cause a breakdown in developmental homeostasis, resulting in increased bilateral asymmetry of morphological traits. The degree of these deviations (termed "fluctuating asymmetry") is thought to correlate with the severity of the stress. If these stresses als
Objective: Previous studies suggest season of birth variation in eating disorders akin to those of psychoses. We studied season of birth variation in bulimia nervosa. Method: Season of birth variation in 935 patients was examined after adjustment for population trends. Variation was also examined fo
A statistically significant season of birth variation is found in an unselected nationwide sample of 1,939 eating disorders patients, with peak season of birth occurring in May. However, among younger patients (n = 882), peak season of birth is in March, which is statistically significantly differen
The major aim of this study was to test three hypotheses: 1) more complex traits of the hand are less prone to developmental insults and therefore show lower fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as compared with simple traits; 2) the manifestation of FA correlates with the variability of the trait (i.e., CV);
