Details of statistical models

Standard length (SL), body weight (BW), and the ten behaviors mentioned in the Material and Methods were compared between species using the generalized linear (mixed) model where species (T. rubripes (TR) and T. niphobles (TN)) was the fixed effect, and family (TR1–TR4 and TN1–TN4) and test year (2007 and 2009) were random effects. When observations were made on given behavior multiple times, the replications were also included in the model as a random effect. All the analyses were done using the R packages “Lme4” and “multcomp”. The results of model fitting for each trait were summarized at the end of this material.

1. Body size (SL and BW)

The data was assumed to be normally distributed, and the models were fit using maximum likelihood (ML). The formulae used and the results of the between species comparison are listed below. We compared the scores of this trait using glht function of “multcomp”; the two species were not significantly different for either trait (P = 0.751 and P = 0.0554 for SL and BW, respectively).

l  Formula used: SL ~ Species + (1|Family) + (1|test year)

Between species comparison

Difference / Estimated Std. Error / Z-value / P-value
TR / - / TN / 0.03333 / 0.10488 / 0.318 / 0.751

l  Formula used: BW ~ Species + (1|Family) + (1|test year)

Between species comparison

Difference / Estimated Std. Error / Z-value / P-value
TR / - / TN / 0.2094 / 0.1093 / 1.916 / 0.0554

2. Resume feeding (RF) from the acclimation test

We compared RF behavior between species by fitting the Poisson model with the Laplace approximation, and found a significant difference between species (P < 2x10-16).

Difference / Estimated Std. Error / Z-value / P-value

3. Face to observer (FT) from the feeding test

For this trait, behaviors were observed 20 times, and the replications were included as a random effect. We compared the score between species, by fitting the binomial model using the Laplace approximation. The scores was significantly different between species (P = 3.19x10-6).

4. Vertical movement (VT), horizontal movement (HR), swimming level (SW) and pausing (PS) behaviors from the swimming activity test

These behaviors were observed ten times each, and the replications were included as a random effect. The Poisson model with Laplace approximation was used for the traits VT and HR, and the Gaussian with ML for the traits SW and PS. The scores were significantly different between species for every trait (P < 2x10-16, P = 1.78x10-15, P < 2x10-16 and P < 2x10-16 for VT, HR, SW and PS, respectively).

5. Ball nipping (BN) and ball pause (BP) from the novel object test

The Poisson model with Laplace approximation was used for BN and the Gaussian with ML for BP. These behaviors were observed two times each, and the replications were included as a random effect. The BN phenotype was found to be comparable between species (P = 0.156), while BP was significantly different between species (P < 2×10-16).
