Fig. 15From: The skeletal ontogeny of Astatotilapia burtoni – a direct-developing model system for the evolution and development of the teleost body planOverview of the sequence of development of the post-cranial skeleton of A. burtoni. Schematic representation of the development of the various morphological aspects described for the axial skeleton as well as the pectoral, pelvic, dorsal/anal and caudal fins, with the anatomical structures aligned along the X-axis and their development shown according to time (dpf) on the Y-axis. No timeline for craniofacial elements is included. Abbreviations: dpf: days post fertilizationBack to article page
