“…A number of evolutionary innovations are thought to weaken functional integration among structures. These include the emergence of redundant function in non-overlapping sets of structures 15,16 , structural duplication [17][18][19][20] , mechanical decoupling 18,19,21 and, similar to what we describe here, behavioural transition (also referred to as functional transition), which is a shift in one or more of the functions executed to meet a biological demand. Each of these innovations can break up ancestral functional relationships among structures and permit new trait combinations to arise without disrupting the ability to meet a biological demand.…”

“…Although our goal was not to note which ecomorphological attributes had a higher phylogenetic signal than others, some structures related to food acquisition and habitat use seem to be phylogenetically conserved at the level of basal taxa (e.g., Loricarioidea, Characiformes). For example, the gain or loss of certain plesiomorphic structures (e.g., muscle "C", cartilaginous plugs, retractor palatini allowed two main functional specializations in current species of Loricariidae: algae scraping and the ability to attach to the substrate by using the oral sucker (Schaefer & Lauder, 1986). Similarly, characteristics related to swimming and feeding habits in Neotropical Characiformes (e.g., dorsal fin ratio, habitat preference, length of the digestive tract, tooth type) and differences in body form also exhibited a significant phylogenetic signal (Guisande et al, 2012).…”

“…Apesar de odontódeos serem estruturas características dos Loricarioidei (Baskin, 1972) ou Loricarioidea (Schaefer & Lauder, 1986), o desenvolvimento adicional destas estruturas em machos sexualmente maduros só foi observado em Loricariidae e alguns gêneros de Callichthyidae. Em Hoplosternum e Callichthys, os odontódeos encontrados no espinho da nadadeira peitoral se desenvolvem notavelmente na época de reprodução (Ferraris, 1991).…”
