Other gastropods develop external asymmetry, such as Glaucus atlanticus that develops asymmetrical cerata as they mature. Histioteuthis is a genus of squid , commonly known as the cock-eyed squid, because in all species the right eye is normal-sized, round, blue and sunken; whereas the left eye is at least twice the diameter of the right eye ...
Animals with bilateral symmetry are classified into a large group called the bilateria, which contains 99% of all animals (comprising over 32 phyla and 1 million described species). All bilaterians have some asymmetrical features; for example, the human heart and liver are positioned asymmetrically despite the body having external bilateral ...
The researchers recorded the flight of hummingbirds and hawkmoths using 1,000 frame-per-second video cameras. The research expanded to four other kinds of flying insects, two species of birds and a bat which all use about the same number of wing beats to complete a turn in mid-flight. [ 2 ]

Caricature showing the external asymmetries due to the axial twist. The axial twist takes place in the early embryo of a vertebrate. There is an evolutionary pressure for animals towards bilateral symmetry, due to sexual selection (better looks to potential mates) and functional selection (e.g., better locomotion). The evolutionary pressure ...
Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). [1] Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in precise terms or in more aesthetic terms. [2]
A food safety expert weighs in on flour bugs, also known as weevils, that can infest your pantry after one TikToker found her flour infested with the crawlers.
Sound localization is an animal’s ability to identify the origin of a sound in distance and direction. [3] Several owl species have ears that are asymmetrical in size and location, which enhances this ability. These species include barn owls (Tyto alba), northern saw-whet owls (Aegolius acadicus), and long-eared owls (Asio otus).
