Abstract

The diversity of functional feeding anatomy is particularly impressive in fishes and correlates with various interspecific ecological specializations. Intraspecific polymorphism can manifest in divergent feeding morphology and ecology, often along a benthic-pelagic axis. Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a freshwater salmonid known for morphological variation and sympatric polymorphism and in Lake Þingvallavatn, Iceland, four morphs of charr coexist that differ in preferred prey, behaviour, habitat use, and external feeding morphology. We studied variation in six upper and lower jaw bones in adults of these four morphs using geometric morphometrics and univariate statistics. We tested for allometric differences in bone size and shape among morphs, morph effects on bone size and shape, and divergence along the benthic-pelagic axis. We also examined the degree of integration between bone pairs. We found differences in bone size between pelagic and benthic morphs for two bones (dentary and premaxilla). There was clear bone shape divergence along a benthic-pelagic axis in four bones (dentary, articular-angular, premaxilla and maxilla), as well as allometric shape differences between morphs in the dentary. Notably for the dentary, morph explained more shape variation than bone size. Comparatively, benthic morphs possess a compact and taller dentary, with shorter dentary palate, consistent with visible (but less prominent) differences in external morphology. As these morphs emerged in the last 10,000 years, these results indicate rapid functional evolution of specific feeding structures in arctic charr. This sets the stage for studies of the genetics and development of rapid and parallel craniofacial evolution.

摘要

功能摄食解剖结构的多样性在鱼类中尤为引人注目,与各种种间生态特化相关。种内多态性表现在不同的摄食形态和生态学上,通常沿着底栖-上层的轴。北极红点鲑(Salvelinus alpinus)是一种淡水鲑鱼,以形态变异和同域多态性而闻名,在冰岛的廷瓦拉湖,有四种形态的红点鲑共存,它们在偏好的猎物、行为、栖息地利用和外部摄食形态上存在差异。我们使用几何形态测量学和单变量统计分析了这四种形态的成年鱼的六块上下颌骨的变异。我们测试了种间体型和形状的比例差异、形态对骨骼大小和形状的影响,以及沿底栖-上层的分化。我们还检查了骨对之间的整合程度。我们发现两种骨骼(齿骨和前颌骨)在浮游和底栖形态之间存在骨骼大小的差异。在四种骨骼(齿骨、关节-角骨、前颌骨和上颌骨)中存在明显的沿底栖-上层轴的骨骼形状分化,以及种间在齿骨上的比例形状差异。值得注意的是,齿骨的形态比骨骼大小解释了更多的形状变异。相比之下,底栖形态具有更紧凑和更高的齿骨,齿骨腭较短,这与外部形态的明显(但不那么突出)差异一致。由于这些形态是在过去 10000 年内出现的,这些结果表明了北极红点鲑特定摄食结构的快速功能进化。这为研究快速和并行的颅面进化的遗传和发育奠定了基础。
