Analysis of multi-trait evolution across independently evolved cavefish populations reveals shared and independent evolution of suites of cave-associated traits

Stefan Choy, Maya S. Enriquez, Rianna Ambosie…·Johanna E. Kowalko

The paper examines multi-trait evolution in cavefish, finding shared and distinct genetic mechanisms and evidence for pleiotropy or linkage in trait evolution.
