  abstract = {{F}luctuating asymmetry ({FA}), a slight and random departure from bilateral symmetry that is normally distributed around a 0 mean, has been widely used to infer developmental instability. {W}e investigated whether habitats (ecotopes) and host-feeding sources influenced wing {FA} of the hematophagous bug {T}riatoma infestans. {B}ecause bug populations occupying distinct habitats differed substantially and consistently in various aspects such as feeding rates, engorgement status and the proportion of gravid females, we predicted that bugs from more open peridomestic habitats (i.e., goat corrals) were more likely to exhibit higher {FA} than bugs from domiciles. {W}e examined patterns of asymmetry and the amount of wing size and shape {FA} in 196 adult {T}. infestans collected across a gradient of habitat suitability and stability that decreased from domiciles, storerooms, kitchens, chicken coops, pig corrals, to goat corrals in a well-defined area of {F}igueroa, northwestern {A}rgentina. {T}he bugs had unmixed blood meals on human, chicken, pig and goat depending on the bug collection ecotope. {W}e documented the occurrence of {FA} in wing shape for bugs fed on all host-feeding sources and in all ecotopes except for females from domiciles or fed on humans. {FA} indices for wing shape differed significantly among host-feeding sources, ecotopes and sexes. {T}he patterns of wing asymmetry in females from domiciles and from goat corrals were significantly different; differences in male {FA} were congruent with evidence showing that they had higher mobility than females across habitats. {T}he host-feeding sources and habitats of {T}. infestans affected wing developmental stability depending on sex.},
