This study identifies a naturally evolved mutation in mc3r that alters energy homeostasis across development in cavefish, contributing to adaptation to nutrient scarcity.

This study uses metabolomics to compare long- and short-term fasting responses in cave-dwelling and surface-dwelling Mexican tetra, identifying metabolic differences linked to resilience and longevity.

The paper identifies cis-regulatory changes in cavefish that contribute to metabolic adaptation by analyzing epigenetic differences between surface and cave populations.

The paper demonstrates the successful generation of stable transgenic lines in Astyanax mexicanus using the Tol2 transposase system, enabling the expression of fluorescent markers in specific cell types.
