Genes, modules and the evolution of cave fish.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2010

Wilkens H

Abstract excerpt

Cave fish provide a model system for exploring the genetic basis of regressive evolution. A proposal that regressive evolution (for example, eye loss) may result from pleiotropy, by selection on constructive traits (for example, improved taste) has received considerable recent interest as it cont...
