Revised Figure Five. Thick-lipped and thin-lipped Midas cichlids in Apoyeque differ in the shape of their
pharyngeal jaws. a) Ten homologous landmarks describe jaw shape using one side. b)
Discriminant function analysis of mean shape of thick-lipped (black; n = 36) and thin-lipped
(grey; n = 135) pharyngeal jaws (scale factor = 4). c) The morphological variation
associated with the first two principal component axes (scale factor = 4), responsible
for most of the shape variation. d) Exemplars of a molariform and papilliform pharyngeal
jaws from Apoyeque Midas cichlids. Note the squatter, broader teeth and thicker horns
in the more molariform jaw.
