From: Bipartite life cycle of coral reef fishes promotes increasing shape disparity of the head skeleton during ontogeny: an example from damselfishes (Pomacentridae)

Figure 5

Lengths of ontogenetic trajectories. (A) Neurocranium, (B) «suspensorium and opercle» unit, (C) mandible and (D) premaxilla. Length of the trajectories in units of Procrustes distance for each skeletal unit (Mean with 95% CI). Confidence limits are obtained by bootstrapping procedure (N = 400). The diet of each species is illustrated by patterned bars. See Table 1 for abbreviations of the species.
