Correlating head shape with ecological variables in rock-dwelling haplochromines (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from Lake Victoria

An exploratory analysis was made of the head shape of cichlid fishes. A 3‐D head truss was used, which allowed approximations of the volumes of three compartments of the head. We applied the method to six species of rock‐dwelling haplochromine cichlids, of which we studied 12 populations from four r...
