Brief communication: Facial fluctuating asymmetry as a marker of sex differences of the response to phenotypic stresses.

abstract：:We examine the demographic correlates of paternity confidence, or men's assessment of the likelihood that they are the genetic father of a particular child. Evolutionary theory predicts that men will provide less parental investment for putative genetic offspring who are unlikely to be their actual offspring, but conf...
