Analysis of the asymmetry of folidosis of the flat-tailed house gecko Hemidactylus platyruus (Schneider, 1792) (Reptilia, Sauria, Gekkonidae) on the territory of cities of South-East Asia (Vientiane, Phnom Penh, Bangkok)

In this work, we performed a comprehensive statistical analysis of fluctuating asymmetry of bilateral symmetric traits of folidosis of the head and limbs of the flat-tailed house gecko Hemidactylus platyurus. Sexual dimorphism and age-related differences were not found in all three analyzed groups (p = 0.12 - 0.83; p = 0.52 - 0.94, respectively). Significant discrepancies in the differentiation of biotopes by FA level between the central and marginal zones for samples without taking into account the type of substrate were not revealed in any of the studied populations. Differences in the integral index depending on the type of substrate were revealed in all three cities, both when comparing samples within cities and among themselves (p
