From: Are developmental shifts the main driver of phenotypic evolution in Diplodus spp. (Perciformes: Sparidae)?

Fig. 2

Ontogenetic trajectories, visualized in the space of principal components (PC1 vs. PC2), lining the four developmental stages Diplodus spp. Stage 1, 2 and 3 represent early settlement (white circle), middle settlement (orange circles) and late settlement (pink circle). Stage 4 includes only adult specimens (red circles). Juveniles converge on the same portion of the morphospace during the late settlement whereas trajectories show large differences when fishes recruit in the adult population
