Insulin resistance in cavefish as an adaptation to a nutrient-limited environment

2017-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Periodic food shortage is one of the biggest challenges organisms face in natural habitats. How animals cope with nutrient limited conditions is an active area of study, of particular relevance in the context of the current increasing destabilization of global climate. Caves represent an extreme setting where animals have adapted to nutrient-limited conditions, as most cave environments lack a primary energy sourc...
