10-Adaptive Speciation in Northern Freshwater Fishes: Patterns and Processes 211 of ecological specializations within and across fish species (Skúlason et al. 1999; Robinson and Schluter 2000).Recent advances in analyses of variation in neutral genetic markers, along with more detailed ecological and experimental data, have facilitated tests to dissect the causal relationships, whereby ecological and genetic factors and historical constraints interact in the evolution of northern freshwater fish. On the one hand, a clear pattern is seen in how phenotypic differences among sympatric forms correlate with the availability, number, and discreteness of habitat and food resources (eg, Hindar and Jonsson 1982; Malmquist et al. 1992; Robinson et al. 1993). On the other hand, genetic studies have shown that in many species (eg, salmonids, sticklebacks, sunfish, smelt, and whitefish) the evolution of sympatric morphs has occurred locally, following postglacial invasions of common ancestors (see the discussion in Section 10.4). The repeated monophyletic origin of coexisting morphs provides unique opportunities to study the effect of ecological, developmental, and genetic factors in diversifying evolution (Smith and Todd 1984; West-Eberhard 1986, 1989; Rice 1987; Diehl and Bush 1989; Wilson 1989, 1992; Rice and Hostert 1993; Bush 1994; Skúlason and Smith 1995; Smith and Skúlason 1996; Skúlason et al. 1999; Robinson and Schluter 2000). The striking similarities in the patterns of diversity seen in different groups of northern freshwater fish strongly suggest the operation of common evolutionary mechanisms. However, the differences among species, and among localities within species, indicate that the degree of segregation currently realized (see, eg, Skúlason et al. 1999) depends on variations in the environmental parameters and on the species-specific constraints that shape the segregation process. In this chapter, the focus is on speciation in relation to resource polymorphisms. Resource polymorphisms represent diversifying evolution on a fine scale that produces distinct ecological groups. Below the following issues are treated:
