2 Sound Characteristics and Complex Sonic Apparatus Morphologies in Two Ophidiiformes: Ophidion rochei (Ophidiidae) and Onuxodon fowleri (Carapidae) Loïc Kéver*, Orphal Colleye, David Lecchini, Franck Lerouvreur, Eric Parmentier * e-mail address: Loic.kever@ulg.ac.be

3 BACKGROUND Ophidiiformes ( ≥ 350 species) OphidioideiBythitoidei BythitidaeAphyonidae OphidiidaeCarapidae Bythitoidei BythitidaeAphyonidae OphidiidaeCarapidae

4 BACKGROUND Benthopelagic, shallow to hadal depths -Abyssobrotula galatheae: 3110-8370 m (WR for a fish) -Genypterus blacodes: 200-650 m, max. TL: ≥ 2 m -Ophidion rochei: 0-150m, nocturnal and burrowing behavior -…-… Ophidiidae (cusk-eels) ACTIVE IN THE DARK Drawing of A. galatheae (FAO) G. blacodesO. Rochei that burrows into the sand

5 BACKGROUND Carapidae (pearlfish) Tropical reefs and warm-temperate waters Shallow waters to continental slope Symbiosis with invertebrates is common: -Sea cucumbers: Carapus spp., Encheliophis spp. -Bivalves: Onuxodon spp. and C. dubius -Sea stars: Carapus mourlani -…-…  Parasites or commensals (chase during the night) ACTIVE IN THE DARK C. boraborensis entering a sea cucumber Onuxodon fowleri entering a pearl oyster

6 SPECIES CHOICE Ophidion rocheiOnuxodon fowleri Ophidiidae Mediterranean and Black seas Burrowing behavior 3 pairs of sonic muscles Rocker bone (RB) Carapidae Pacific Ocean Symbiosis (pearl oysters) 2 pairs of sonic muscles Rocker bone (RB) Convergent evolution? Function(s) in sound production? = ≠ ≠ ≠ ≠ 10 mm Rocker bone Rocker bone (RB) 3D reconstruction of an O. rochei 3D reconstruction of an O. fowleri

7 AIMS Sound production in Ophidion rochei (Ophidiidae) and Onuxodon fowleri (Carapidae) Sonic apparatus morphology in both species Role(s) of the rocker bone?

8 METHODS Sound recordings: hydrophones Morphology of sound production mechanism µCT-scan Dissections Alizarin red X-ray

9 Ophidion rochei: sound production Time (s) Time (ms) Relative intensity (V) Type 1 sound = maleType 2 sound = female and juvenile -Pulse duration: ca. 15-20 ms -1 to 55 pulses ->20 pulses: unique pattern in period -Pulse duration: ca. 1 ms -2 to 21 pulses -No specific pattern in period Ocillogram of a typical male O. rochei sound Ocillogram of a typical female O. rochei sound Variations in pulse period duration in a male O. rochei sound Variations in pulse period duration in a female O. rochei sound ##

10 Ophidion rochei: morphology ≠ mineralized structures Neurocranium 2mm Neurocranium Rocker bone Swimbladder plate Neural rocker 2mm Neurocranium Neural rocker Neurocranium Swimbladder plate Left lateral views of neurocranium and anterior vertebral column of male and female O. rochei Dorsal views of neurocranium and anterior vertebral column of male and female O. rochei I I II III IV V V VI

11 Ophidion rochei: morphology ≠ shapes ≠ sizes ≠ insertion points Ventral sonic muscle Dorsal sonic muscle I I Swimbladder Intermediary sonic muscle Neurocranium Kéver et al. 2012 Parmentier et al. 2010 Left lateral views of neurocranium, anterior vertebral column, swimbladder and sonic muscles in male and female O. rochei Rocker bone

13 Onuxodon fowleri: sound production (s) 1 sound type: - Pulse duration: ca. 20 ms - 1 to 41 pulses > 20 pulses # Variations in pulse period duration in Onuxodon fowleri and male O. rochei sounds # Ophidion rochei Onuxodon fowleri y = 92.5 + 0.6x

15 Comparison between O. fowleri and O. rochei O. Fowleri (Carapidae) Male O. rochei (Ophidiidae) Female O. rochei (Ophidiidae) Sounds up to several secondsYES NO Sounds over 30 pulsesYES NO Pulse duration over 10 msYES NO Period over 50 msYES NO Unique period patternNOYESNO 3 pairs of sonic musclesNOYES Rocker boneYES NO Very large platesYES NO

16 Discussion & conclusions Juvenile and female O. rochei Male O. rochei and Onuxodon fowleri RB evolved under strong physical constraints… long sounds long pulses Higher intensity? Swimbladder (Sb) Swimbladder Schematic representation (left lateral and frontal views) of sonic muscle insertion on the swimbladder in female and juvenile Ophidion rochei Sb Neurocranium Sonic muscle Schematic representation (left lateral and frontal views) of sonic muscle insertion on the rocker bone in Onuxodon fowleri and male Ophidion rochei Rocker bone Tendon Swimbladder

17 Discussion & conclusions Additional studies are needed… Presence of a rocker bone Caused by constraints related to sound production Convergent evolution

18 Thank you for your attention… e-mail address: Loic.kever@ulg.ac.be Funds: FRIA (F.R.S.-FNRS)

19 Conclusions Rocker bone might evolve to ameliorate swimbladder physical resistence to long and intense sound production… Rocker bone could lower the cost of long sound production… Swimbladder plate could affect resonance of sound apparatus. Further studies are needed…

27 Discussion and conclusions Rocker bone: -Adaptation to produce long pulsed sounds (high mechanical constrains) However Ophidiiformes species with different no RB but other modifications also produce long pulsed sounds -Sound intensty? -High sound production rate? (Higher resistence to physical constrains) -… Sexual dimorphism in O. rochei but not in O. fowleri. If rocker adapted for sound production: -their should be differences in role of soundS? - Male O. rochei attract female for reproduction thanks to their sound - Unknown in O. fowleri -Differences in swimbblader resistence - O. rochei have reltively thick swimbladder wall - O. fowleri have thin swimbladder wall

28 BACKGROUND Ophidiidae & Carapidae Complex and diversified sound production mechanisms: -> 1 pair of sonic muscles -modified anterior vertebrae and ribs -modified swimbladder V Sonic apparatus of male O. rochei Sonic muscles Swimbladder Swimbladder plate Skull Tail
