Evolution of gastrointestinal tract morphology and plasticity in cave-adapted Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus

M. R. Riddle, F. Damen, A. Aspiras, J. A. Tabin, S. McGaugh, C. Tabin

This study examines the evolution and plasticity of the gastrointestinal tract in cave and surface fish of Astyanax mexicanus under different dietary conditions, revealing convergent and divergent morphological adaptations.

Genetic architecture underlying changes in carotenoid accumulation during the evolution of the Blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus

M. R. Riddle, A. Aspiras, F. Damen, J. N. Hutchinson, D. Chinnapen, C. Tabin

The paper investigates genetic changes in Astyanax mexicanus cavefish that lead to carotenoid accumulation in visceral adipose tissue, identifying multiple stages of carotenoid processing affected by cave adaptation.

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

A. Aspiras, M. Riddle, K. Gaudenz, R. Peuss, J. Sung, B. Martineau, M. Peavey, A. Box, J. A. Tabin, S. McGaugh, R. Borowsky, C. J. Tabin, N. Rohner

This study shows cavefish have insulin resistance due to a mutation in the insulin receptor, which may confer advantages in nutrient-limited environments despite negative effects seen in humans.
