Figure 6

Schematic representation of the ecological and shape changes observed during the ontogeny of Acanthurus triostegus. See the text for details. The grey arrow represents the ontogenetic scale. The numbers above the scale refer to the approximate fish size (standard length in mm) when the changes occur. Variations in habitat, diet and morphology are illustrated by a gradient of blue, green and orange, respectively.
