Evolution of olfactory sensitivity, preferences and behavioral responses in Mexican cavefish: fish personality matters

M. Blin, L. Valay, M. Kuratko, M. Pavie, S. Retaux

This study examines how olfactory sensitivity, preferences, and behavioral responses evolve in Mexican cavefish and surface fish, revealing individual personality differences and genetic influences on olfactory traits.

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.

Acoustic signatures in cavefish populations inhabiting different caves

C. Hyacinthe, J. Attia, E. Schutz, D. Casane, S. RETAUX

The paper examines acoustic signatures in cavefish from different Mexican caves, finding cave-specific variations not linked to phenotype or ecology, suggesting neutral evolution and potential speciation.

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.

Evidence for Late Pleistocene origin of Astyanax mexicanus cavefish

J. Fumey, H. Hinaux, C. Noirot, C. Thermes, S. Retaux, D. Casane

This paper challenges the assumption of an ancient origin for Astyanax mexicanus cavefish by showing their populations likely originated less than 20,000 years ago through recent divergence and admixture.
