Abstract
No presente trabalho, comparamos a morfologia e o hábito alimentar de 18 espécies de peixes do alto rio Tocantins a fim de verificar se os padrões morfológicos obtidos para o conjunto das espécies estudadas corroboram os padrões tróficos e, portanto, se podem ser usados como caracteres preditivos da estrutura trófica da comunidade. A análise da dieta revelou ampla variedade de itens consumidos e distinção de três grandes grupos tróficos: espécies carnívoras/insetívoras/piscívoras, onívoras e herbívoras. A Análise dos Componentes Principais, baseada nos índices morfológicos, determinou a ordenação das espécies de acordo com tamanho da cabeça, diâmetro do olho, posição da boca e altura do corpo e permitiu a distinção de dois grandes grupos de espécies. Os grupos obtidos a partir dos índices morfológicos corroboram o padrão obtido a partir da análise da dieta das espécies. A análise ecomorfológica revelou-se uma ferramenta adequada na descrição de aspectos ecológicos das espécies estudadas, refletindo preferências alimentares e de uso do hábitat e pode ser usada como método preditivo da estrutura trófica da comunidade estudada.
In the present study we aimed to compare ecomorphological and feeding data of 18 stream-dwelling fish species from the upper Tocantins river, in order to test if morphological patterns confirm the trophic ones and if they could be used as predictive characters in the analysis of the trophic structure of this community. Feeding analysis revealed a wide range of food items consumed by the fishes and allowed the recognition of three major trophic groups: carnivorous/insectivorous/piscivorous, omnivorous and detritivorous/herbivorous. Principal Component Analysis, based on the morphometric indices, organized the studied species according to head size, eye diameter, mouth position and body depth and allowed the recognition of two major ecomorphological groups. We concluded that the ecomorphological analysis efficiently described specific ecological characters, reflected feeding and habitat use preferences and could be used as trophic structure predictors of the studied community.
