Wall-following: phylogenetic context of an enhanced behaviour in stygomorphic Sinocyclocheilus (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) cavefishes

B. Chen, W.-Z. Dai, X.-L. Li, T.-R. Mao, Y. Liu, M. R. Pie, J. Yang, M. Meegaskumbura

This study examines wall-following behavior in Sinocyclocheilus cavefish, finding that eyeless species exhibit enhanced behavior compared to sighted ones, with phylogenetic patterns linking behavior intensity to subterranean adaptation.

Evolving in the darkness: phylogenomics of Sinocyclocheilus cavefishes highlights recent diversification and cryptic diversity

T.-R. Mao, Y.-W. Liu, M. M. Vasconcellos, M. R. Pie, G. Ellepola, C.-H. Fu, J. Yang, M. Meegaskumbura

This study uses RADseq to analyze the phylogenetics of Sinocyclocheilus cavefishes, identifying six major clades, 19 known species, and two cryptic species, with recent diversification linked to geological events.
