Common Genetic Basis of Eye and Pigment Loss in Two Distinct Cave Populations of the Isopod Crustacean Asellus aquaticus.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Sept 2018

Re Cassandra, Fišer Žiga, Perez Justin, Tacdol Allyson, Trontelj Peter, Protas Meredith E

Abstract excerpt

Repeated evolution of similar phenotypes is a widespread phenomenon found throughout the living world and it can proceed through the same or different genetic mechanisms. Cave animals with their convergent traits such as eye and pigment loss, as well as elongated appendages, are a striking example of the evolution of similar phenotypes. Yet, few cave species are amenable to genetic crossing and mapping techniques...
