Evolutionary Genetics of the Cavefish Astyanax mexicanus.

Advances in genetics - 1 Jan 2016

Casane D, Rétaux S

Abstract excerpt

Blind and depigmented fish belonging to the species Astyanax mexicanus are outstanding models for evolutionary genetics. During their evolution in the darkness of caves, they have undergone a number of changes at the morphological, physiological, and behavioral levels, but they can still breed with their river-dwelling conspecifics. The fertile hybrids between these two morphotypes allow forward genetic...
