Local Insect Damage Reduces Fluctuating Asymmetry in Next-year’s Leaves of Downy Birch

Insect herbivory imposes stress on host plants. This stress may cause an increase in leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA), which is defined as the magnitude of the random deviations from a symmetrical leaf shape. We tested the hypothesis that differences in leaf FA among individual shoots of downy birch,...
