Ontogenetic allometry conservatism across five teleost orders

Geometric morphometrics were used to analyse ontogenetic trajectories in representatives of the Characiformes, Cichliformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Siluriformes, and Tetraodontiformes. It was not possible to differentiate any allometric growth patterns across groups, indicating that a phylogenetically...

Sumario:Geometric morphometrics were used to analyse ontogenetic trajectories in representatives of the Characiformes, Cichliformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Siluriformes, and Tetraodontiformes. It was not possible to differentiate any allometric growth patterns across groups, indicating that a phylogenetically conserved developmental pattern is widespread throughout Teleostei. © 2018 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
