Comparison between the lateral line systems of the Lake Masoko A. calliptera ecomorphs and the broader Lake Malawi radiation. a Images of representatives of the six major clades of Lake Malawi haplochromine cichlids: Rhamphochromis (Rhamphochromis woodi); Diplotaxodon (Diplotaxodon limnothrissa); deep benthic (Alticorpus geoffreyi); shallow benthic (Dimidiochromis strigatus); mbuna (Maylandia pulpican); and utaka (Copadichromis likomae). b-i Comparisons of pore area and neuromast count measurements between Lake Masoko Astatotilapia calliptera (above dashed line) and the six main Lake Malawi cichlid lineages (green; below dashed line). Each point is an individual specimen, and all data are partial residuals from statistical models (Table S8). b Mean mandibular pore area. c Mean preopercular pore area. d Mean infraorbital pore area. e Mean otic pore area. f Total number of head superficial neuromasts. g Total number of trunk superficial neuromasts. h Total number of trunk canal neuromasts. i Mean number of superficial neuromasts per trunk canal neuromast cluster
