摘要：
Examination of levels of inter- and intra-individual variation for a number of characters across 11 invertebrate species revealed a significant concordance of character coefficients of variation among samples within a species, suggesting that some characters are consistently more (or less) variable than others. In addition a significant positive correlation between character CV and asymmetry values was observed, suggesting that the underlying genetic mechanisms responsible for buffering character development against both external and internal environmental variation are either the same or inter-related. These results are discussed in relation to associations between character variation and individual fitness.
