Fluctuating Asymmetry in Stag Beetles 1. INTRODUCTION Fluctuating asymmetry gives an idea of a populations state of adaptation, which are the random deviations from perfect symmetry (VanValen 1962) of organisms in the population, which can be due to genetic and environmental stresses (Graham et al. 2010) These environmental stresses can include sexual selection. Sexual selection is the process resulting from differential mating success of individuals within a population which gives rise to secondary

The honey bee plays a major role among all pollinators, pollinating about 90% of trees, shrubs, plants, green crops and wild plants (Ollerton et al, 2011).

effort to uphold the oath of truth. In 2009, there was a study by Brandon L. Garrett and Peter J. Neufeld that explored the ¨the relationship between forensic testimony and convictions ultimately leading to exonerations based upon post-conviction DNA analysis (24).” This study of 82 cases had approximately 60% of those cases included invalid forensic evidence. These statistics are shocking but should not undermine the needs of forensic science in court cases and there is a need to provide new resources

transformation from an immature form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages . In this case, the organism will experience four life stages consisting of the egg stage, larval stage, pupa stage and the imago or adult stage . The female darkling beetle lays hundreds of eggs which, after approximately after 1-4 weeks, hatch into the second life stage, the larval stage .

Gossip spreads like wildfire, as exemplified in chapter 2 on page 45, as five women are gossiping about the punishment of Hester Prynne: “At the very least, they should put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne’s forehead.” A man that these five gossips do not know even throws in his two cents on her punishment.
