Gene flow and population structure in the Mexican blind cavefish complex (Astyanax mexicanus).

BMC evolutionary biology - 23 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cave animals converge evolutionarily on a suite of troglomorphic traits, the best known of which are eyelessness and depigmentation. We studied 11 cave and 10 surface populations of Astyanax mexicanus in order to better understand the evolutionary origins of the cave forms, the basic genetic structuring of both cave and surface populations, and the degree to which present day migration among them...
