Abstract excerpt
Morphological integration can respond to environmental conditions, a response that may be dynamic through ontogeny. Among fishes, brook charrs (Salvelinus fontinalis) display a trophic polymorphism that makes it a good species for analyzing the ontogeny of morphological integration. To better understand the processes regulating variation and integration, we assess the ontogenetic dynamics of covariances and...
