Morphometric and Osteological Methods
in Ichthyology
Brian SidlauskasNational Evolutionary Synthesis Center
Durham, NC
Three main types of morphological study
• Study of discrete character variation among species– Phylogenetics– Species delimitation
• Quantification of shape and size variation– Species delimitation– Age and growth studies
• Studies of character evolution– Phylogenetic comparative

Phylomorphospaces
• Relative Warp Analysis of skull shapes yields positions of species in morphospace
• Phylogeny links species
• Squared-change parsimony or likelihood infers position of internal nodes and morphometric distances (Euclidean) between them.
• Species sorted into diet classes based on literature accounts (Herbivore, Invertivore, Detritivore, etc.) and color coded
• Reconstruction of diet at internal nodes

Significance Testing via Simulation
• Simulate morphological evolution– Many possible phylogenies– constant tempo and mode (e.g.
single rate Brownian motion)
• Reconstruct distribution of possible phylomorphospaces
• Determine how often one generates two clades that differ as greatly as the observed
• If A/Cobserved > A/C simulated 95% of the time, then reject the null hypothesis of equal tempo or mode
• Otherwise, real world consistent with two random outcomes of the same process Unequal tempo?: P from 0.29 to 0.65
Unequal modes?: P from 0.01 to 0.05
