Table 3 Generalized linear models of neuromast counts for superficial neuromasts and canal neuromasts of the trunk, testing for differences between shallow (< 5 m) and deep caught (> 20 m) individuals. All neuromast count models are fit against a Poisson distribution
From: Lateral line system diversification during the early stages of ecological speciation in cichlid fish
