AbstractRecent increases in understanding the ecological and evolutionary roles of microbial communities has underscored their importance for their hosts’ biology. Yet, little is known about gut microbiota dynamics during early stages of ecological diversification and speciation. We studied the gut microbiota of extremely young adaptive radiations of Nicaraguan crater lake cichlid fish (Amphilophus cf. citrinellus) to test the hypothesis that parallel evolution in trophic ecology is associated with parallel changes of the gut microbiota. Bacterial communities of the water (eDNA) and guts were highly distinct, indicating that the gut microbiota is shaped by host-specific factors. Across individuals of the same crater lake, differentiation in trophic ecology was associated with gut microbiota differentiation, suggesting that diet affects the gut microbiota. However, differences in trophic ecology were much more pronounced across than within species whereas little evidence was found for similar patterns in taxonomic and functional changes of the gut microbiota. Across the two crater lakes, we could not detect evidence for parallel changes of the gut microbiota associated with trophic ecology. Similar cases of non-parallelism have been observed in other recently diverged fish species and might be explained by a lack of clearly differentiated niches during early stages of ecological diversification.
