| Abstract: |
This document is a summary of a special issue of the journal Symmetry titled "Fluctuating Asymmetry as a Measure of Stress: Influence of Natural and Anthropogenic Factors." The issue includes four articles that examine the impact of stress on different organisms. One article analyzes the effect of climatic factors on woody plants, another focuses on the asymmetry of an alga's frustules, a third assesses the impact of habitat fragmentation on small mammals, and the final article explores the variation in meristic characteristics of sand lizards. The authors conclude that fluctuating asymmetry (FA) can be used as a biomonitoring tool to assess the health of ecosystems and the condition of organisms, and it can aid in the conservation of endangered species.
