Figure 3From: Perturbing the developing skull: using laser ablation to investigate the robustness of the infraorbital bones in zebrafish (Danio rerio)Variations in the shape of the IO5 bone in adults accounted for by the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd principal components. IO5 condensation ablation (red plus sign), control-side (purple triangle) and control (green circle) specimens. (A) The contour variance of each principal component is shown; broken line represents the average -2 SD from the mean, thin solid line represents the mean and the thick solid line, indicates +2 SD from the mean where SD stands for standard deviation. (B) Scatterplot of PC1 versus PC2 for the IO5 condensation ablation experiment. 95% confidence interval ellipses are also shown with the same treatment group colours.Back to article page
