Abstract
Geometric morphometrics were used to analyse ontogenetic trajectories in representatives of the Characiformes, Cichliformes, Cyprinodontiformes, Siluriformes, and Tetraodontiformes. It was not possible to differentiate any allometric growth patterns across groups, indicating that a phylogenetically conserved developmental pattern is widespread throughout Teleostei.Keywords: allometry; evolutionary constraint; geometric morphometrics; neutral evolution; stabilizing selection
