Fluctuating asymmetry in Lepidoptera

[ROBERT BUTCHER]

Dave,
try contacting Dr. Ian Harvey or his former / current (?) Phd student 
Karen Willson, at Liverpool (see below).
To the best of my limited knowledge, they studied sweet FA in field 
caught samples of several species of eared moths in Canada, and in 
different odonates species around N.E. England and Trinidad. Also in 
the lab, they studied hereditability in  a parthenogenetic parasitic 
wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). I cannot comment on what fitness 
correlates etc were used, or if the data sets are analysed / finished 
yet, let alone what they found.
Good luck,
Rob
