TL;DR:
Results show that native fishes maintain phenotype stability across a suite of functional traits linked to calcium regulation, perhaps pointing to an "organismal-level homeostasis" scenario rather than a "trait-levelHomeostasis", as well as expanding prior work on skeletal element sizes and bone densities.
