FIG. 9 in Phylogenetic Relationships among Fishes in the Order Zeiformes Based on Molecular and Morphological Data

FIG. 9. Morphometric analysis of 24 zeiform species for which combined molecular and morphological phylogenetic results were obtained as in Figure 7. (A) Thirteen landmarks used in the morphometric analysis shown on an image of Zenopsis nebulosa (CSIRO). (B–D) Wireframe diagrams in which the red wireframe represents an average form while the blue outline represents change in the direction of the principal component. (E) Phylomorphospace diagram showing variation in the morphospace defined by the first two principal components, with the combined phylogeny of Figure 7 mapped into the morphospace. Thin blue lines and thick black lines represent convergent lineages. Note that most of the major lineages arose from common ancestors with near-average morphologies (blue ellipse).
