From: Changing otolith/fish size ratios during settlement in two tropical damselfishes

a, b Relationship between otolith size (O) and standard length (L) in pre-settlers (black dots, lines) and settlers (grey circles, lines) C. rollandi (a) and P. amboinensis (b), two common damselfish from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Only significant (P < 0.05) linear regression lines are shown. c, d Relationship between O/L ratios and L in pre-settlers versus settlers of both damselfish species. Lines depict the 10th and 90th percentiles of L-dependent cumulative probability distributions of O/L ratios calculated using locally weighted, non-parametric density estimators with varying bandwidths (0.18–0.36 mm). The non-parametric method is described in detail, e.g., in Pepin et al. (1999) or Evans (2000)
