Cave adaptation drives coordinated transcriptional remodeling across diverse cell types in the brain of a teleost fish

2026-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Adaptation of organisms to extreme environments requires dramatic phenotypic changes. Studying these changes can elucidate mechanisms underlying phenotypic differences in the context of both evolution and human disease. The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, is a powerful model of extreme adaptation over a short evolutionary time scale. This fish species includes surface- and cave-dwelling ecotypes, with cavefish...
