Figure 1. Morphology as function of body length (BL) in nauplii.

Figure 1

Regression lines are power laws fitted to the data. A) Aspect ratio (AR, body width/body length). Blue circles, T. longicornis, power law equation: Log(AR)  = −0.23Log(BL) –0.48 (r2 = 0.69, p<0.0001, n = 88); red circles, O. davisae (slope  = 0.07, p = 0.47, n = 64); green circles A. tonsa, (slope  = 0.04, p = 0.10, n = 70), B) Relative antennule length (RAL, antennule length/body length). Blue circles, T. longicornis: Log(RAL)  = −0.58Log(BL) –0.82 (r2 = 0.75, p<0.0001, n = 100); red circles, O. davisae: Log(RAL)  = −0.34Log(BL)–0.83 (r2 = 0.21, p<0.0001, n = 83); green circles, A. tonsa: Log(RAL)  = −0.35Log(BL)–0.63 (r2 = 0.63, p<0.0001, n = 71).
