a, b Inter-individual variation (IIV) (a) and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) (b) in wing sizes for each genotype and for each sex. The upper graphs indicate the variance of wing sizes (a) and size-corrected FA (b). The lower dot plots indicate the distributions of relative wing sizes normalized against the average size among individuals (a) and the distribution of wing size variations within each individual (b). Control, w−; CS, Canton S; OR, Oregon R. All mutants were assessed on a w− background. c Wing size for each genotype and for each sex. Dotted lines indicate the average values for the control males and females. The percentage differences in the average values, relative to control values, are shown in the graph. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; F-test with Bonferroni correction. The numbers of flies analyzed are indicated.
