Genetic divergence between cave and surface populations of Astyanax in Mexico (Characidae, Teleostei).

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2003

Strecker U, Bernatchez L, Wilkens H

Abstract excerpt

A study of genetic diversity at microsatellite loci and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome b gene was carried out to assess genetic relationships among four Mexican cave (Pachon, Sabinos, Tinaja, Chica) and four surface populations of Astyanax fasciatus (Characidae) from northeast Mexico and the Yucatan. With the exception of Chica, the cave populations were all characterized by extremely low microsatellite...
