Mean (standard deviation) number of neuromasts is shown for each neuromast line (top row) and population (center column). Population abbreviations are given in the text. Superscript notations following each population name indicate habitat groups (M=marine, S=stream, L=lake, BL=benthic lake, LL=limnetic lake). Asterisks in Mp column mark fully plated populations. Individual variation in total neuromast number for each population is shown using the coefficient of variation (CV) in the far right column.
