| Title: | Temporal and spatial variation in metric asymmetry in skulls of polar bears (Ursus maritimus) from East Greenland and Svalbard / Thea Ø. Bechshøft, and 6 others. |
| Author(s): | Bechshøft, Thea Ø. |
| Date: | 2008. |
| In: | Annales Zoologici Fennici. (2008.), Vol. 45(1) (2008) |
| Abstract: | Investigates fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as measure of environmental stress in polar bear (Ursus maritimus) skulls from East Greenland (collected 1892-2004) and Svalbard (collected 1950-2004). Finds Svalbard bears to have higher level of FA than those of East Greenland. Notes that there is no substantial evidence of linkage between FA and organohalogens. |
