We quantified within-clutch size variation at hatching and found that newly hatched larvae from the periphery (5 mm from edge) of 2-dimensional clutches were smaller in standard length, cranial depth, eye diameter and body area (7%, 8%, 4% and 11%, respectively) than larvae from the interior positions within clutches.
Specimens from 11.3 mm to 85.5 mm in standard length were studied.
Fish were paired, such that one individual ('large' individual) was 0.8 1.0 mm greater in standard length than the other ('small') (see supporting information Figure S1).
We then measured the actual standard length of each individual, which is a proxy for developmental stage in post-embryonic larvae [11], and we tested if differences in mineralized vertebral number remained after controlling for differences in standard length.
This analysis confirmed that even after accounting for variation in standard length (F1,176 = 88.4, P<0.0001) there was a significant reduction in vertebral mineralization in double morphants, as compared to single morphants (F2,176 = 33.4, P<0.0001; Tukey Kramer post hoc comparison, P<0.05; mean±SE mineralized vertebrae: col27a1a, 6.0±0.23; col27.9±0.249±0.24; col27and and col27a1b, 5.2±0.22).
All fish tested for behavioral experiments were between 3 and 5 cm in standard length.
