Genetic identification and reiterated captures suggests that the Astyanax mexicanus El Pachon cavefish population is closed and declining

L. Legendre, J. Rode, I. Germon, M. Pavie, C. Quiviger, M. Policarpo, J. Leclercq, S. Pere, J. Fumey, C. Hyacinthe, P. Ornelas-Garcia, L. Espinasa, S. Retaux, D. Casane

The paper uses genetic identification from repeated captures to estimate the small and declining population size of Astyanax mexicanus El Pachon cavefish.

Ancient and nonuniform loss of olfactory receptor expression renders the shark nose a de facto vomeronasal organ

A. S. Syed, K. Sharma, M. Policarpo, S. Ferrando, D. Casane, S. I. Korsching

The paper investigates the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor families in cartilaginous fishes, finding that V2R/OlfC receptors are expressed in microvillous neurons, while other families are underrepresented.

Coevolution of the olfactory organ and its receptor repertoire in ray-finned fishes

M. Policarpo, K. E. Bemis, P. Laurenti, L. Legendre, J.-C. Sandoz, S. Retaux, D. Casane

The paper examines the evolutionary dynamics of olfactory receptor gene families in ray-finned fishes, finding a link between olfactory organ morphology and receptor gene richness.

Genomic evidence that blind cavefishes are not wrecks of ancient life

M. Policarpo, P. Laurenti, E. Garcia-Machado, C. Metcalfe, S. Retaux, D. Casane

The paper estimates the age of blindness in cavefishes by analyzing decay in eye-specific genes, finding that blindness is relatively recent, ranging from the Early Pliocene to Late Pleistocene.

Evolutionary dynamics of the OR gene repertoire in teleost fishes: evidence of an association with changes in olfactory epithelium shape

M. Policarpo, K. E. Bemis, J. C. Tyler, C. J. Metcalfe, P. Laurenti, J.-C. Sandoz, S. Retaux, D. Casane

The paper analyzes OR gene repertoire diversity across teleost fishes and finds a correlation between olfactory epithelium morphology and OR gene number.

Contrasted gene decay in subterranean vertebrates: insights from cavefishes and fossorial mammals

M. Policarpo, J. Fumey, P. Lafargeas, D. Naquin, C. Thermes, M. Naville, C. Dechaud, J.-N. Volff, C. Cabau, C. Klopp, P. Rask Moller, L. Bernatchez, E. Garcia-Machado, S. Retaux, D. Casane

This study compares gene decay in cavefishes and fossorial mammals, finding that eye gene decay is recent in cavefishes but ancient in mammals.
