The spatiotemporal and genetic architecture of extraoral taste buds in Astyanax cavefish

D Berning, H Heerema, JB Gross - Communications Biology, 2024 - nature.com
Intense environmental pressures can yield both regressive and constructive traits through
complex evolutionary mechanisms. Although regression is well-studied, the biological bases …

[PDF][PDF] Cavefish dorsoventral axis angle during wall swimming: laterality asymmetry

J Espinasa, L Espinasa - Subterranean Biology, 2024 - subtbiol.pensoft.net
The Astyanax fish exhibits two morphs: an eyed, pigmented surface morph and an eyeless,
depigmented cave morph. Previous studies have shown that blind morphs swim nearly …

Blind cavefish evolved higher foraging responses to chemo-and mechanostimuli

K Kuball, VFL Fernandes, D Takagi, M Yoshizawa - Plos one, 2024 - journals.plos.org
In nature, animals must navigate to forage according to their sensory inputs. Different
species use different sensory modalities to locate food efficiently. For teleosts, food emits …
