Supplemental material, section 2:
Mean relative size of morphological traits examined, calculated against the cubed root of mass (CRM) and biplot (supplemental material, section 4) occupied. Quadrant 1 = small gape, large eye (upper left); 2 = large gape, large eye (upper right); 3 = small gape, small eye (lower left); 4 = large gape, small eye (lower right). The mean absolute sizes of the morphological traits are also provided along with the mean cubed root of the mass of fishes studied.
