Abstract
Assesses Ipomoea pandurata and Cnidoscolus stimulosus as potential indicators of ecosystem stress in Fort Benning, Georgia. Soil disturbance, previous year burning, and percentage of bare ground increased developmental instability in these species. Microhabitat characteristics also affected developmental instability.Suggested Citation
