Changes in local interaction rules during ontogeny underlie the evolution of collective behavior

A. Paz, K. J. Holt, A. Clarke, A. Aviles, B. Abraham, A. C. Keene, E. R. Duboue, Y. Fily, J. E. Kowalko

The paper studies how local interaction rules change during development and evolution in Mexican tetra fish, showing surface fish develop schooling behavior through alignment and attraction, while cavefish lose schooling behavior.

Characterizing the genetic basis of trait evolution in the Mexican cavefish

C. Oliva, N. K. Hinz, W. Robinson, A. M. Barrett Thompson, J. Booth, L. M. Crisostomo, S. Zanineli, M. Tanner, E. Lloyd, M. A. O'Gorman, B. McDole, A. Paz, R. Kozol, E. B. Brown, J. E. Kowalko, , A. C. Keene

This study investigates the genetic basis of trait evolution in Mexican cavefish by analyzing behavioral and morphological differences between surface and cave populations.

Kinematic analysis deconstructs the evolved loss of schooling behavior in cavefish

A. Patch, A. Paz, K. Holt, E. R. Duboue, J. E. Kowalko, A. C. Keene, Y. Fily

The paper uses kinematic analysis to show that cavefish's loss of schooling behavior is an adaptive strategy, not just a sensory limitation, and is consistent across independently evolved populations.

I. Prates, A. Paz, J. L. Brown, A. C. Carnaval

The paper examines how prey diversity and evolutionary divergence influence toxin variation in poison frogs across their range.
