Patterns Of Morphological Plasticity In Metriaclima Zebra And Danio Rerio Suggest Differently Canalized Phenotypes Due To Form-Function Relationships, Dylan Jockel
Masters Theses
In order to ascertain the degree of compatibility in developmental restructuring and behavioral plasticity between two fish species frequently made subject of laboratory research (Metriaclima zebra & Danio rerio), alternative trophic niche exposure experiments utilizing novel three-prong feeding treatments were conducted to obtain morphometric data, which demonstrated both species do bear some degree of plasticity. The results are somewhat complicated by differences in locality of detectable restructuring, which may be due to disparity in the form-function relationship for each species’ lineage. Each is notable in the manner of respective species’ jaw protrusion, as it is driven by anterior …

Understanding the generation of phenotypic variation by linking it to genetic variation has long been a focus of evolutionary biology; this framework has successfully been implemented in a variety of studies across the tree of life1,2. However, our understanding of the phenotype remains incomplete until we account for a myriad of interactions that influence the genotype-phenotype map, including interactions between traits (TxT), interactions between genes and the environment (GxE), as well as the ways in which various types of interactions are nested within and build upon one another (e.g., (TxT)xG). My dissertation aims to contribute to filling this …
