Diversity of the skull in the labrid fish. (i) Cheilinus celebicus, feeds on small fishes and invertebrates, (j) Hemigymnus melapterus, feeds on invertebrates in sand, (k) Anampses geographicus, feeds on small hard-shelled invertebrates, (l) Epibulus insidiator, engulfs crustaceans and small fishes, (m) Chlorurus microrhinos, feeds on the epilithic algal matrix of coral reefs, (n) Siphonognathus argyrophanes, feeds on small invertebrates picked from weeds or the substratum, (o) Gomphosus varius, feeds on small benthic crustaceans, (p) Labrichthys unilineatus, a coral-polyp eater.

Mitotic spindles (bottom) are about 30% longer in Xenopus laevis (green) than in its smaller, faster-breeding relative, X. tropicalis (red).
