Serial disparity in the carnivoran backbone unveil a complex adaptive role in metameric evolution

description | Multi-element systems such as the vertebral column of vertebrates
represent a major challenge to phenotypic quantification and
macroevolutionary analyses. The vertebral column is a metameric structure,
composed of serially repeated subunits, and much of what is known so far
has been inferred from sparse anatomical samples, providing little insight
into local-scale (i.e. vertebra-to-vertebra) variation and its
macroevolutionary importance. This limits understanding of how
evolutionary constraints and functional adaptation interact during the
evolution of multi-element phenotypes. Here, we quantify morphological
disparity across all subunits (vertebrae) of the pre-sacral column in the
mammalian order Carnivora. We address how vertebral morphology varies
among elements, and the extent to which these patterns have been
structured by constraints and/or evolutionary adaptation to locomotory
capabilities, using 3D geometric morphometrics and multivariate analyses
for high-dimensional phenotypes. We find that lumbars and posterior
thoracics exhibit high individual disparity but low serial
differentiation. These vertebrae are pervasively recruited into locomotory
functions, exhibiting high-dimensional ecomorphological signals and
patterns of evolution indicative of relaxed constraints. Cervical and
anterior thoracic vertebrae have low individual disparity and greater
serial differentiation. Individual vertebrae in these regions unexpectedly
also show signals of locomotory adaptation that were not generally
recognized by previous studies. These are characterized by low-dimensional
ecomorphological signals and overall constrained patterns of evolution.
Our findings support the hypothesis that the lumbar region is a key
innovation that increases ecological versatility of mammalian locomotion.
Nevertheless, locomotory adaptation is more widely distributed along the
mammalian axial skeleton. This has been masked by local-scale variation
and low phenotypic variability in comparison with other skeletal
structures such as the skull or limbs. Our analyses demonstrate that the
strength of ecomorphological signal does not have a predictable influence
on macroevolutionary outcomes even within the same structure, and
undermine the traditional view that highly constrained skeletal units are
strongly limited in their potential to adapt to new ecological avenues.
