This study shows that selection, not mutation, drives repeated trait evolution in cavefish, with genes having longer coding regions being more likely to undergo repeated adaptation.

This study examines genetic and ecomorphological divergence between two sympatric Astyanax morphs in Central America, finding strong morphological and ecological correlations but limited genetic differentiation.

The paper examines craniofacial morphology variation in Mesoamerican lake-dwelling fishes, finding an ecomorphological cline linked to environmental pressures and local adaptation.

This study shows that gene flow plays a significant role in the rapid evolution of cave-related traits in Mexican tetra, challenging the classic hypothesis of disuse and drift.
