  abstract = {{M}orphological correlates of diet were examined in 48 species of freshwater fishes from floodplain lakes in the central part of the {M}amoreŽ {R}iver ({B}olivian {A}mazon). {T}he species were classified, according to the percentage occurrence of seven food items, into eight broad trophic categories: mud feeders, algivores, herbivores, terrestrial invertivores and omnivores, carnivores, zooplanktivores, aquatic invertivores and piscivores. {T}here were significant relationships between the diet and morphology of the fishes even when the effect of taxonomical relatedness between species was eliminated. {R}elative gut length was the main morphological variable used to order species on a carnivore to mud feeder gradient. {S}tandard length and head and mouth size were the morphological variables most closely associated with prey size. {M}ud feeder, algivore and piscivore species appeared as the most dietary and morphologically specialized. {T}hese results support both the hypotheses that species morphology influences the diet and that morphological similarity is conserved even in comparison with taxonomically unrelated species.
