Summary:

Ketika  menangkap mangsa yang sulit dipahami , banyak ikan mengandalkan trik khusus : menonjol rahang yang dengan cepat memperluas jangkauan mereka untuk ‘snap up’ pada  makanan  berikutnya . Sekarang , para peneliti telah menemukan cara cerdas untuk melacak evolusi  tonjolan di rahang  ikan selama bertahun- jutaan tahun .

..... Bukti menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan tonjolan pada rahang  ikan ' relatif baru , muncul hanya dalam 100 juta tahun terakhir dari sejarah 400 - juta - tahun mereka.

" Kami menerima begitu saja bahwa semua ikan dapat ‘snap up’ mangsanya yang sulit  , " kata David Bellwood dari James Cook University di Australia . " Tapi itu tidak seperti jutaan tahun yang lalu . ".....more

A long look back at fishes' extendable jaws

When it comes to catching elusive prey, many fishes rely on a special trick: protruding jaws that quickly extend their reach to snap up that next meal. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on October 8 have found a clever way to trace the evolution of jaw protrusion in fishes over many millions of years.

The evidence suggests that fishes' jaw protrusion skill is relatively new, appearing only in the last 100 million years of their 400-million-year history.

"We take it for granted that all fishes can snap up elusive prey," says David Bellwood of James Cook University in Australia. "But it wasn't like that millions of years ago."

Based on a careful analysis of the jaws of 60 living fish species, the researchers developed a method to predict a fish's jaw protrusion ability based on a simple anatomical measurement. It was suddenly possible to predict jaw protrusion in long-lost fishes of the ancient past.

"We knew that most [modern] fishes could protrude their jaws," explains Christopher Goatley, co-author of the study, also at James Cook University. "The question was, when did this ability arise, and what anatomical features were required for protrusion?"

The researchers discovered that "one simple measurement of one jawbone explained almost everything. With this we could predict how fishes feed today and how they are likely to have fed in the past, over the last 400 million years."

Once protruding jaws did arise, they took off. The researchers' analyses show an increase in both the average and maximum jaw protrusion over the last 100 million years, making fish more venerable predators over time. At first, the increase in jaw protrusion mostly came from an increase in the proportion of fishes with that ability, as spiny-rayed fishes won out over other groups. Then the extent of jaw protrusion in those spiny-rayed fishes continued to increase.

The findings suggest that this characteristic may have played an important role in the success of the spiny-rayed fishes--now the dominant fish clade in modern oceans, the researchers say. Those extendable, protruding jaws also made prey species more vulnerable to attack. That might explain why many crustaceans today are so small.

"We think [that] over evolutionary time this drove prey to hide by becoming smaller, nocturnal, or hiding in holes," Bellwood says. "Today the average crustacean on a coral reef is less than a millimeter long. This may be a consequence of increasing predation pressure."

Bellwood says this is just the beginning of an in-depth look into fish feeding and the dynamics between fish and their prey in a changing environment.

"There have been major changes in the abilities of fish to feed over time," Bellwood says. "The key to understanding this history is in the workings of a fish's head."
