  abstract = {{W}e investigated the global relationship between diet and morphology for 42 fish species from a medium-sized river in {F}rench {G}uiana and checked the influence of the species taxonomic proximity on the implication of individual morphological traits in that relation. {T}he 42 species were classified in eight trophic guilds based on analysis of more than 4000 stomach contents. {T}axonomic proximity between species was accounted for by an autoregressive model applied to original data of diet and morphology. {O}riginal and taxonomic-free data were then submitted to a {C}anonical {C}orrespondence {A}nalysis in order to detect the relationship between diet and morphology. {W}e compared the results obtained by analyzing the original data and the corrected data. {T}he results confirm the existence of a significant global relationship between diet and morphology. {H}owever, morphological traits responsible for that relation were different when considering the taxonomic-free data. {P}articularly the well known relationship between gut length and detritivory was not observed on the taxonomic free analysis. {I}t is concluded that controlling for phylogeny is essential to the detection of relationships between diet and morphology. {I}t is also concluded that, despite the robustness of some relationships between morphology and diet, many diets cannot be inferred by a ecomorphological approach.},
