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

Figure 6

Ontogenetic dynamics of shape disparity over ontogeny among all studied species and within each main trophic group. Shape disparity (Mean with 95% CI) at the three studied ontogenetic stages: at settlement, at 60 mm SL and at the maximum SL (MAX) for (A) the family level, within (B) mainly zooplanktivorous and (C) mainly algivorous species. Confidence limits are obtained by bootstrapping procedure (N = 400).
