The complex origin of Astyanax cavefish.

BMC evolutionary biology - 30 Jun 2012

Gross Joshua B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The loss of phenotypic characters is a common feature of evolution. Cave organisms provide excellent models for investigating the underlying patterns and processes governing the evolutionary loss of phenotypic traits. The blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus, represents a particularly strong model for both developmental and genetic analyses as these fish can be raised in the laboratory and...
