Pharyngeal jaws expression differences of seven target genes between distinct trophic niches in each lake at the end of larval phase. (A) Comparisons of relative expression levels of seven target genes between pharyngeal jaws of haplochromine species belonging to distinct trophic niche in each East African lake at the yolk sac absorption stage marking the end of larval development and the onset of juvenile phase. Circles above bars indicate significantly elevated expression (P < 0.05) in comparisons between pharyngeal jaws (i.e., compared to the bar matching the colour code of the circle)
